Hand & Stone Massage Franchise

Hand & Stone Massage, a Franchisor Inc franchise, has been franchising since 2006 - 2 years after the concept was founded in 2004 , currently with 600 total locations (600 franchised, 0 company-owned; 100% of the recorded total is franchised) in the retail sector, headquartered in NJ. This editorial registry lists a total initial investment from $534K to $1.2M, with separate listed low and high values. The registry separately records a franchise-fee field of $49K; its summary does not reproduce every Item 7 line item.

Ongoing royalties run 6.0% of gross sales; the registry also records a 4.0% advertising-fund field, for a 10.0% arithmetic total. Hand & Stone Massage has an Item 19 financial-performance field in this registry, a voluntary disclosure under the FTC Franchise Rule. The reported average gross revenue per location is $1.1M; applying the listed royalty rate to that reported average yields $66K as a simple arithmetic illustration, not a cost or profit estimate. Revenue is not profit; this registry does not contain a complete operating-cost or profit record.

Hand & Stone Massage's network is expanding: unit count grew at a 5.0% net rate over the past year (50 openings, 20 closures). This is a reported network-size change, not a measure of profitability, demand, or franchisee outcomes.
