March 25, 2025 // Franchising.com // FLORIDA – Phenix Salon Suites, the world’s leading salon suite franchise with a significant presence across Florida, announced today its two latest openings in Tampa and Orlando.
The new Phenix Salon Suites in Orlando is conveniently located within the Orlando Square Shopping Center at 1750 West Sand Lake Road, Suite B-100, and is owned by Alex Bello and Miguel Guerra. The pair’s latest facility in the area has a total of 47 suites, with two doubles and 12 premiums, and is their 6th Phenix location in the state of Florida. Additionally, a second location opened in the Tampa area inside the Carrollwood Center at 10005 N Dale Mabry Ave., Tampa owned by Phenix Advisory Board Member, Cynthia Foreman and her husband Christopher.
These two new facilities add to an already impressive lineup for the brand in Florida, with Phenix Salon Suites having over 21 open locations in the Orlando and West Florida area alone. Additionally, the latest opening in Tampa marks the brand’s official entrance into the Tampa metro area, highlighting the immense opportunity for Lifestyle Professionals and operators alike throughout the city.
“Our concept has proven success across Florida, and we’re eager to extend our expansion in central/west Florida leveraging the momentum from these newly opened locations,” said Brian Kelley, President and CEO of Phenix Salon Suites. “Tampa specifically is wide open for further development of the Phenix footprint. The region offers franchisees and Lifestyle Professionals alike a great opportunity to own and operate their own business. Our entire team at Phenix is thrilled to see how much of an impact both locations make in their communities. Every time a Phenix Salon Suites location opens 30-40 entrepreneurs are born!”
Setting a solid foundation of momentum for the brand in Tampa, Phenix’s targeted growth highlights the growing level of demand for the concept and the huge opportunity for entrepreneurs alike. The Tampa market is proving to be a wide-open territory, and with a steady population growth north of 5% annually, there’s no better time for entrepreneurs to join the innovative concept in pursuit of their dream.
Phenix’s momentum is further recognized through receipt of several accolades over the last year. The brand ranked once again on the prestigious Entrepreneur Franchise 500 list for the 12th consecutive year, landing within the top 150 brands at #138.
