Paul Palumbo is
gearing up to open his first Hand & Stone.
He has over 10 years experience with another franchise, the experience
from which undoubtedly will set him up for success with his massage and facial
spa.
Paul went to
William Paterson University in Wayne, NJ.
Upon graduation, he went to work for Dun and Bradstreet in New York City
and worked as the national sales and operational manager. He stayed there from 1980 until 2004, and
from there, he went to work as the director of sales at Bowker in New
Providence, NJ. As the company began to lay off employees toward the beginning
of 2012, Paul and his wife Dawn began to look at opening a Hand & Stone.
Paul will hold his current job at Ingram until the time comes to transition
into Hand & Stone full time.
How did you learn
about the brand?
I have a business friend
who owns a few spas. He was over at our
house and he shared with me details about the spa business and how it was a
great opportunity. I went to the welcome
meeting and decided to go ahead with it.
What are your
expansion or development plans? What is your end goal with Hand & Stone?
Ideally, I’d like to have success with this Hand & Stone
Spa then eventually consider opening more down the road.
