Massage Heights

Own a Membership-Based Wellness Business Built for Long-Term Growth

Heights Wellness Retreat (formerly Massage Heights) is an established wellness franchise that has been helping guests prioritise recovery, relaxation and overall wellbeing since 2004. With more than 100 locations across the United States and Canada, the brand has evolved from a massage-focused concept into a modern wellness destination, combining therapeutic services, advanced wellness technologies and recurring membership revenue within one scalable business model.

Designed to meet the growing consumer demand for preventative health, stress management and recovery, Heights Wellness Retreat offers franchisees the opportunity to build a business in one of the world's fastest-growing industries while benefiting from more than two decades of franchising experience.

A Modern Wellness Concept with Multiple Revenue Opportunities

Unlike traditional massage businesses, Heights Wellness Retreat brings together a range of complementary services under one roof, allowing franchisees to serve a broader customer base while encouraging repeat visits and long-term member engagement.

Services include:

• Therapeutic massage.
• Advanced skincare featuring Dermalogica®.
• Wellness technologies, including cryotherapy, red light therapy, lymphatic drainage and salt therapy.
• Guided wellness and mindfulness experiences.
• Upscale branded retail products and wellness enhancements.

This diversified offering creates multiple pathways for customer acquisition while supporting recurring visits through the brand's membership model.

Built Around Predictable Membership Revenue

Recurring memberships form the foundation of the business, with approximately 70% of system revenue generated through membership programmes. Rather than relying primarily on one-time visits, franchisees build long-term customer relationships supported by regular wellness routines and ongoing engagement.

The brand also reports a 97% customer retention rate, demonstrating the strength of its member-focused approach.

Designed to Be Simple to Scale

Franchisees do not need previous experience in the wellness industry. The business is designed for entrepreneurs with strong leadership skills who are committed to following proven systems.

From site selection and build-out through pre-sales and grand opening, franchisees benefit from structured onboarding, the Strong Start programme, proprietary operating systems, marketing frameworks and ongoing operational guidance from an experienced leadership team.

Whether operating as a full-time owner or using the executive, manager-run model, franchisees have the flexibility to build a business that supports both their commercial ambitions and lifestyle goals.

Comprehensive Training and Ongoing Support

Franchisees receive extensive training covering every aspect of launching and operating their business, including:

• Initial training for up to four team members.
• Operations, marketing, advertising and sales.
• Customer experience and quality standards.
• Practical business management.
• Ongoing operational training and system updates.
• Continuous corporate support from an experienced franchise team.

Training is delivered through a combination of in-person and online learning, with programmes held at the corporate headquarters in San Antonio, Texas, or other approved locations.
