April 22, 2024 // Franchising.com // HOUSTON, Texas - Pvolve announced the largest franchise deal in the company’s history. The agreement is for five studio locations across Houston, the first of which is planned for River Oaks towards the end of the year.
This development deal was struck between Mark To, Hanh To, and Shawn Bishop, a trio of local entrepreneurs who have introduced the market to a number of namesakes in the health and wellness industry over the last 20 years, including Massage Envy, The Joint Chiropractic, European Wax Center, and Phenix Salon Suites.
“I first heard about Pvolve while listening to their President, Julie Cartwright, on an industry podcast,” said Hanh. “She shared not only the brand’s proprietary methodology but also its focus on longevity, improved mobility, and an enhanced lifestyle that could be realized through functional fitness. Ultimately, it was their ethos that sold me on the impact the franchise could have here in Houston: break a sweat, not your body.”
“We couldn’t be more grateful to partner with Mark, Hanh, and Shawn; three industry veterans and some of the most talented and capable franchise owners around," said Julie Cartwright, President of Pvolve. “Houston has seen no shortage of new health concepts and fitness fads enter the market in recent years, so we are confident that the community will really value the efficacy and scientific approach to fitness that Pvolve offers.”
