HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - Jan 17, 2012) - Massage Heights, a membership-based massage therapy franchise, is offering investors the opportunity to own their own business in a rapidly growing field through a Massage Heights franchise in Houston.
On January 26th, Massage Heights President & CEO Glenn Franson will address potential Retreat owners assembled with assistance from J.D. Busch, Massage Heights Regional Developer. Franson will speak on the opportunities available to Massage Heights Retreat owners.
Busch says Massage Heights franchise owners enjoy a business climate at their Retreats distinctly different from that found in many other industries. "At our Retreats, there is always a relaxed atmosphere," Busch says. "And it's a real plus to be able to promote a healthy lifestyle and help people live their lives better through the affordable, convenient massage therapy services we provide."
The growth of Massage Heights has been rapid in Houston, with many locations opening during the past several years. Busch says that this will continue with the company planning to open ten additional locations in the Houston area. Those considering a Massage Heights franchise should plan to invest at least $222,000 and have a net worth in excess of $400,000.
The most successful Massage Heights franchise owners, Busch says, are self-motivated individuals with backgrounds in management, sales, and customer service. "We find that people from service industries such as retail and restaurants bring the necessary skills that will ensure their success as Massage Heights franchise owners," Busch notes.

November 01, 2012 // Franchising.com // Washington, D.C. - Today, nearly half of the country is dealing with the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. The storm’s path of destruction has affected more than 50 million people in 23 states. According to some government estimates, Hurricane Sandy’s winds were responsible for more than $7 billion in damages and economic loss.
“For many people, dealing with the clean-up is the worst part,” said Nick Friedman, president of College Hunks Hauling Junk, a nationally franchised junk removal and moving company headquartered in Tampa, Fla. “Regardless of the type of storm, hurricane, Nor’easter, tornado—or a devastating combination like Sandy—they leave behind flood waters, broken tree limbs, shattered glass and a tremendous amount of debris.”
Friedman added that he’s seeing many households call on College Hunks Moving, a subsidiary of College Hunks Hauling Junk, to pack up many of their belongings and move them safely into storage while repairs and recovery are under way.
Stay away from damaged buildings or structures until they've been deemed safe by a building inspector.
Leave immediately if you hear shifting or unusual noises that signal that the structure may fall or if you smell gas or suspect a leak.
Before you begin cleaning up, take inventory with a camera so you have documentation for any insurance or other damage claims.
Wear hard hats, goggles, heavy work gloves and watertight boots with steel toes for clean-up work. This is especially important if sewage has seeped into the building.
Open interior doors with caution - doors that stick at the top could indicate a ceiling ready to fall.
Scrub all interior surfaces that were in contact with floodwaters with bleach or a household disinfectant containing bleach.
Remember that professional services are available to help you in this time of need. Do avoid fly-by-night contractors and instead, use reputable companies.
“The teams at our local College Hunks Hauling Junk franchises are available to assist in everything from downed branches to flood-damaged furniture and belongings,” said Friedman.
“Getting back to normal will take some time, but we are here to make it as stress-free as possible,” he added, pointing out that College Hunks Hauling Junk is working with local and regional disaster restoration companies to help them handle the workload.
According to the company’s CEO and Co-Founder, Omar Soliman, “We’re generally a pretty light-hearted company, but this is serious. The magnitude of the storm, the damage it caused, and the lives it affected are all serious matters. And we’re here to offer some serious help.”
