Own a profitable, staff-managed float therapy and wellness spa in a popular neighborhood of a thriving metro area. Established in 2019 and operating under a respected national franchise brand, this turnkey business and model franchise location has built a loyal member base and strong community reputation through high-quality service and non-pharmaceutical therapies that reduce stress, anxiety, pain, and fatigue.

The business offers a rare combination of financial strength and minimal owner involvement—generating $300-400K in seller discretionary earnings (SDE) in each of the last four years, with the current owners only investing 5–6 hours per week. The well-trained staff includes a General Manager, Assistant Manager, and Float Consultants who manage daily operations, making this an excellent fit for semi-absentee ownership.

Located in a high-traffic commercial area in one of the trendiest parts of town, the spa features a thoughtfully designed 3,000-square-foot space with approximately $200,000 in furniture, fixtures, and equipment (FF&E) included in the sale. A clean, modern layout and brand-approved design deliver a premium guest experience that can’t be found anywhere else in Charlotte.

Revenue is driven by a blend of one-time visits and recurring membership plans, creating a reliable income model. Gift cards and membership retention remain strong, with many celebrity and clients alike reporting significant physical and mental health benefits from regular sessions with this location and the franchise as a whole. The spa also enjoys strong customer reviews and a very favorable industry reputation.

This location is well positioned for future growth through multiple proven avenues. A new "Vitality Suite" is being rolled out by the franchise, introducing in-demand services such as red light therapy, infrared sauna, and cold plunge. These additions offer attractive upsell potential for both current members and new clients. Additional upside exists in grassroots marketing, synergistic retail products, and improved digital conversion tools—all of which are in motion and can be further developed by new ownership.

Asking $949,000, this listing includes everything needed to continue operations seamlessly, including comprehensive training and transition support. Whether you’re a wellness-focused entrepreneur or looking to expand your portfolio with a profitable, semi-absentee model, this float spa offers a rare mix of financial performance, operational ease, and personal fulfillment.

This spa benefits from a strong reputation, high customer satisfaction, and a growing interest in alternative wellness therapies. It operates in a competitive but expanding market, with no direct competitors offering the same quality or range of services in Charlotte. The business enjoys recurring memberships, strong word-of-mouth, and is backed by a nationally recognized and celebrity-endorsed brand.

New owners can grow revenue by launching the Vitality Suite (red light therapy, sauna, cold plunge) and expanding synergistic retail products. Grassroots marketing and partnerships with local wellness providers offer untapped upside. A new franchise website with Apple Pay, Google Pay, and retargeting tools is expected to boost online bookings. Hands-on ownership could improve staffing and margins.
