2025 Median Gross Sales
$1,236,266
Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa's 2026 FDD, Item 19, for the January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025 (the “2025 Calendar Year”). Basis: Franchised Outlets open 12 months or more.
Sample size: 570 outlets. The FDD also reports 2025 average gross sales of $1,334,936. We lead with the median because an average is pulled upward by the strongest outlets; the median is the middle outlet.
What the franchisor excluded from this figure
- The Item 19 figures in Tables 1 through 5 exclude 30 franchised outlets that had less than 52 consecutive weeks of sales in calendar year 2025, including 25 outlets that opened and 5 outlets that closed during the 2025 Calendar Year.
- Table #6b includes 134 franchised outlets that reported their expenses; 466 franchised outlets were excluded because they did not report their expenses or were not operating for 12 full calendar months as of December 31, 2025.
This is a disclosure of what some existing outlets reported, not a projection of what a new Hand & Stone Massage and Facial Spa outlet would earn. Your results will differ.
