We were closed for a full 12 months due to Covid and then reopened again in 2021 to large capacity restrictions and Covid vaccine/testing requirements. In 2021, we generated $1.1M and in 2022 (our first full 12 months with no restrictions) generated nearly $1.8M. EBITDA was understandably in the negatives in '20 & '21 due to the pandemic and at 5.3% in '22 since our business top line is operating as a true Y2 in business, but our expenses are reflective of a more mature business (Y4), which has slimmed the margins as we build back., override_brand_summary_image=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/8123305614/additional_background?variant=large, sales_contact_last_name=Reyes, services_image_top_large=https://commandcenter.franchisesidekick.com/brand_image/8123305614/services_image_large, main_contact_is_contract_signer=No, superpower_5=80+ shops in development!, franchise_fee=60000, sks_number_of_franchisees=2, semi_absentee_ownership=No, sks_owner_benefit_percentage=5.3, two_minute_drill_url=https://www.franchisesidekick.com/two-minute-drills/squeeze, year_founded=2019, hs_pipeline=11403875, industry=Massage, franchise_offering_components=A manager can run the day-to-day operations;Recurring Revenue Model (membership, subscription);Defined Customer Acquisition program;Technology-driven;Founder or Leadership that have 10+ years of industry experience;Hiring & Recruiting support;A physical location is required (retail or office location), hs_object_source_label=FORM, registration_maryland=Pending, contract_signer_first_name=Brittany, currently_franchising=Yes, website=https://squeezemassage.com, secondary_contact_email=brian.boucher@squeezemassage.com, preferred_funding_partner=FranFund, royalty_external=, corporate_location=Co-located: Studio City, CA & Nashville, TN, functions_of_semi_absentee_owner=N/A, item_19_highlights=Net sales represent 2024: January 1, 2024 through May 31, 2024.

The focus is on guest experience. Competitive Advantages: Industry leading technology allows a seamless experience for guests to tailor their massage experience and ‘float’ out the door without getting stressed out at the payment line. Technology delivers real time feedback about the massage therapist to franchise owners via the review system, allowing for immediate training, feedback and knowledge of business operations. Guest Experience is centralized and off-site to allow the Maitre D’ to focus on the guest experience, optimizing the schedule, and communicating with the therapists. Less payroll, hassle, noise, and disturbance in the lobby. The Guest Experience team will respond to all Tier 1 communication (phone, email, SMS) from a guest and only escalate to the shop when necessary.
