Teaming Up with the Franchise
BusinessPlanet Beach welcomes new franchisees, Heather and CJ Hunt, who were awarded a franchise license in Mandeville, Louisiana!
What originally motivated you to consider a business opportunity?
Owning and operating a business together has always been a goal of ours. We both have extensive experience in operations management and felt as though the time was right.
What led you to explore franchising rather than an independent business?
We explored franchising because it provides the advantages of presenting an established business plan, proven marketing strategies and the support of a corporate team.
What was your initial impression of your first spa session at Planet Beach?
My first session at a Planet Beach was quite a few years ago, but what I remember most was the excellent customer service. The Spa Consultants were always more than accommodating.
How was your experience going through the Planet Beach Discovery Process?
The process with our our recruiter was very pleasant. Kayla went above and beyond and always got back to us very quickly with the answers to any questions we had. She is very knowledgeable and passionate about the organization and that alone made us feel very comfortable with her. She made the decision to move forward very easy.
