Franworth, an incubator of emerging franchise brands, announces its
investment and partnership with Degree Wellness, a female-founded
and led self-care franchise. Filling a key void in this in-demand,
high-growth market, Degree Wellness offers solutions that leverage
heat, cold, light, and advanced nutrients to enhance physical and
mental health. In each Degree Wellness studio, these services are
conveniently offered in an unintimidating, trusted space, featuring
touches of luxury at every turn.
With four locations in Jacksonville, Fla., the partnership aims
to bring Degree Wellness to communities nationwide using a
franchising model. Their cutting-edge wellness services include
cryotherapy, infrared sauna, cold plunge, contrast therapy, red
light therapy, IV drips, boosters, and more. These solutions
provide many benefits, helping customers increase energy, relieve
pain and inflammation, detox properly, boost metabolism, and stay
young.
Franworth partner and future NFL Hall of Famer, Drew Brees,
shares his excitement about the new partnership, “During my
football career, proper recovery was essential to maintaining peak
performance. Even now, I rely on a variety of wellness services to
keep my body and brain in top shape. I believe Degree Wellness
offers innovative treatments that are incredibly beneficial for
overall health, and I’m thrilled to be part of making these
services accessible to more people.”
The Franworth partnership brings over 450 years of franchising
experience, group purchasing power, and extensive operational
support to Degree Wellness franchisees, so they are well-equipped
to scale into new markets.
John Rotche, Franworth's Founder and CEO, highlights his
enthusiasm for the new partnership, stating, “Degree Wellness is in
the top 1% of emerging concepts and positioned for exceptional
growth. Leveraging the founding team’s deep knowledge in the
boutique wellness industry, our focus at Franworth is prioritizing
franchisees as we expand, offering excellent until-level economics,
and a female-centric ‘just right’ approach to recovery and
self-care. Degree Wellness provides a wide variety of services
compared to single-mode franchises, with less complexity than other
costly alternatives in the wellness space.”
To fuel their efforts further, Franworth has joined forces with
Franchise FastLane, a franchise sales organization, to manage
Degree Wellness’ candidate vetting and confirmation processes.
Degree Wellness is the first and only brand to partner with both
Franworth and Franchise FastLane to propel growth and support
franchise expansion.
“Self-care has become such an important part of my own personal
routine, that when we decided to expand, I knew we had to do it
right – for our customers, our team, and our franchise partners,”
said Amanda Watts Lightcap, President of Degree Wellness. “We have
made significant investments to do so, and I’m thrilled to be
partnered with the absolute best in the business. Franworth and
Franchise FastLane’s track records are second to none. My team and
I are honored to be on this journey with them.”
