WellBiz Brands Expands its Franchise Footprint in 2026

WellBiz Brands, Inc., the global leader in beauty and wellness franchising, has announced a remarkable start to 2026, signing a total of 56 new franchise agreements. This strategic expansion involves new and existing franchisees across its acclaimed brands, including Drybar®, Elements Massage®, Fitness Together®, Amazing Lash Studio®, and Radiant Waxing®. This growth is underpinned by an increasing consumer demand for personalized wellness experiences, which WellBiz is poised to satisfy with its diverse offerings.

In detail, the agreements include 26 transfers, 17 new unit agreements, and 13 renewals, demonstrating a robust investment from franchisees in both single-brand and multi-brand opportunities within the WellBiz ecosystem. The company’s footprint is expanding not only across the United States but also on an international scale, with key new markets including San Diego, Seattle, Florida, New Jersey, and Minnesota.

As of now, WellBiz has surpassed 750 total locations globally, showcasing impressive growth across its franchise systems. Amanda Clark, CEO of WellBiz Brands, emphasized, “Our performance reflects the strength of our franchise systems and the dedication of our franchise partners. We are committed to providing exceptional experiences to both franchisees and their clients, focused on operational excellence and adapting to consumer expectations.”

Several noteworthy recognitions accompany this momentum. Notably, Drybar has earned a spot in the 2026 Franchise 500® list by Entrepreneur, ranking at No. 482, and has also been acknowledged as the number one brand in its category in the Franchise Times Zor Awards. This recognition not only highlights the brand's growth but also its rigor in maintaining high franchise standards.

WellBiz Brands is also entering an exciting chapter following its acquisition by Transom Capital Group, a private equity firm based in Los Angeles, experienced in supporting complex, multi-brand platforms. This acquisition lays the groundwork for accelerated unit development and ensures leadership continuity, allowing the company to maintain its upward trajectory.
