A fast-growing U.S. subscription-based skincare studio is adding a presence in the Dayton region.
Washington, D.C.-based GLO30 started the year off with 60% growth, according to a release. The brand is adding six franchise agreements to increase to 29 locations in five states. The expansions will grow the brand's total units to 77 in development across 11 states.
The six signed agreements will bring five locations to Dayton/Cincinnati and five to Columbus. A representative of GLO30 said the company is currently in the process of searching for locations.
The average investment in each GLO30 location is $241,000 to $600,000 with up to eight employees hired per site. The company hopes to break ground on stores in winter 2024, aiming for summer 2025 openings.
Other locations across the country include: one to Old Town Alexandria, Virginia; six to Houston, Texas; five to Western Washington; and seven to St. Louis/Charles County, Missouri.
"As we announce the remarkable growth of GLO30 in Q1, I am humbled by the extraordinary entrepreneurs who have chosen to partner with us in this exciting journey," said Arleen Lamba, GLO30 founder. "The agreements to bring twenty-nine locations to five states is a testament to the vision, potential, and strength of our concept. Their confidence in GLO30 fuels our determination to continue delivering unparalleled value and innovation in every aspect of our business."
GLO30 attributes its Q1 2024 growth to the diverse group of entrepreneurs joining the brand. Some notable groups who signed agreements in 2023 included Microsoft, Great Clips and Primrose Schools.
The brand plans to reach 1,000 units in 10 years. The company provides franchising opportunities through Fransmart – the global leader in franchise development, selling over 5,000 franchises worldwide.
"My extensive background in both the beauty and franchising industries has equipped me with the ability to identify exceptional business opportunities, and GLO30 is no exception," said Wil Young, owner of GLO30 Columbus. "GLO30's innovative approach and proven potential for growth reaffirmed my confidence in the brand, which is why I decided to bring five locations to Columbus. I am thrilled to expand the brand's footprint and bring the transformative beauty experience to my community."
In 2012, GLO30 introduced its monthly subscription-based membership model, setting new standards for treatment affordability and accessibility in the industry. The innovation has extended to GLOria – the industry's first proprietary AI tool. GLOria customizes treatments, offers real-time product recommendations to improve skin health.
