THE TEN SPOT beauty bar
THE TEN SPOT® is canada’s and soon to be the US's largest and fastest growing beauty bar and retail company. a celebrated brand, THE TEN SPOT® is led by creator and ceo kristen gale, one of the north america's most recognized young leaders and entrepreneurs. in 2006, kristen saw an opportunity to close the beauty market gap between the cheap and often-questionable nail shops and expense and often over-the-top spas. kristen envisioned an offering that combined the efficiency of the nail salons with the service excellence of spas. kristen harnessed the perfect storm of concept, timing, and market. she targeted the massive demographic of women aged 18 – 65 with a goal to deliver what all busy women want: a one-stop-shop for getting all their beauty maintenance services in one “spot”. in 2012, the first franchise opportunities were created to fuel THE TEN SPOT®’s growth. expansion into the us soon followed. the original canadian corporate locations were sold to eager franchise partners and kristen and her team set their sights on taking over (the beauty bar) world. THE TEN SPOT® culture is a true reflection of its brand: fun, creative, and committed to excellence. the future is beyond bright for kristen + the rapidly expanding 10spot® team. there are 33 beauty bars operational with our first us location officially open. an additional 33 locations have been awarded, including 12 (and counting!) in the us. currently we have 41 franchise partners, 26 franchise partner groups, and 10 multi-unit owners. rapid expansion across the us is an immediate priority, with entry into the uk and european markets soon to follow. compelling strategies are in place to drive sustained sales growth and recurring revenues of current and future bars through expanded service offerings, membership programs, and proprietary products. please contact noel.modarres@thetenspot.com +1 647 819 8712 for mor information on franchising with THE TEN SPOT®. let's make everyone feel like a 10!
