St. Louis Business Journal - by Kelsey Volkmann
Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa plans to enter the St. Louis market this fall when husband-and-wife franchisees open a location in Des Peres.
Christy and Tony Burke plan to open a massage and facial salon in a shopping center in November, with four or five other area locations to follow.
Bob McQuillan, a vice president of franchise development for the Hamilton, N.J.-based company, said Hand & Stone picked St. Louis for its expansion because it wanted to add new time zones and locations in the Midwest. Other targets for expansion are Chicago and Indianapolis, he said.
The company has 32 stores but plans to have 50 by the end of the year, McQuillan said.
