Massage Envy Makes Therapeutic Massage Affordable for the Masses

Massage Envy, the bold new franchiser that’s quietly making its mark on the rapidly growing massage-therapy industry, announced today the grand opening of three new clinics in the Atlanta market just in time for the holidays.

“With our openings in Stockbridge, Duluth and on Peachtree Parkway, Massage Envy will have a total of six clinics across Atlanta,” said Norm Klemmer, Massage Envy’s Regional Developer for North Georgia.

Massage Envy is a national franchise that takes massages out of the elite and makes them available to everyone through a monthly membership plan similar to those offered at health clubs. Members can enjoy a massage for $49, with each additional massage in the same month costing about $39.

“Our goal is to allow everyone to experience the therapeutic and stress-relieving benefits of massage therapy as often as needed,” said Klemmer.

Aside from price, Massage Envy offers a number of other special features. Chief among them is convenience – the clinics are open as late as 10 p.m. on weekdays to accommodate consumers’ busy schedules and hectic commutes.

Recognized by the International Council of Shopping Centers (ICSC.org) as one of the top five most innovative shopping center tenants for 2006, Massage Envy is quickly claiming prominent, upscale retail locations across the country and in Atlanta including:
• Brookwood Marketplace (Opens October 27, 2006)
Peachtree Parkway and Brookwood Road in Suwanee

• Sugarloaf Marketplace (Opens November 1, 2006)
Georgia Highway 120 & Sugarloaf Parkway in Lawrenceville

• Hudson Bridge Crossing (Opens December 1, 2006)
Hudson Bridge Road and I-75 in Stockbridge

At an estimated $11 billion, massage therapy is one of the fastest-growing industries in the nation, a fact that’s not surprising given Americans’ increasingly hectic lifestyles. During the past year alone, an astounding 47 million adults in the United States received a massage for everything from stress reduction to pain relief and overall relaxation.
