WellBiz Brands, Inc., a global franchisor of five leading beauty and wellness brands completed the first quarter of 2026 with 50 new franchise agreements signed to new and existing franchisees across the system.

Its brands include Drybar, Elements Massage, Fitness Together, Amazing Lash Studio and Radiant Waxing.

Officials say the franchise growth coupled with the acquisition by private equity firm Transom Capital Group positions the company for accelerated growth in 2026.

“WellBiz Brands’ performance in 2026 so far reflects the strength of our franchise systems and the dedication of our franchise partners,” said Amanda Clark, CEO at WellBiz Brands. “Across all five brands, we’ve remained focused on disciplined growth, operational excellence and evolving alongside consumer expectations in the wellness space. As we continue into 2026, our priority remains providing both franchisees and their clients with the highest-quality wellness experience.”

Demand for Service-Based Wellness Experiences Drive Growth

As demand for personalized, service-based wellness experiences continued to grow, WellBiz Brands expanded its footprint across the US and internationally. The 56 signed agreements include 26 transfers, 17 new unit franchise agreements and 13 renewals, with franchisees continuing to invest in both single-brand and multi-brand opportunities. The company also entered and expanded within key growth markets, including San Diego, Seattle, Florida, New Jersey and Minnesota.

The new growth across the WellBiz Brands portfolio brings the company to more than 750 total locations worldwide, representing continued growth across each of its franchise systems.
