Hand and Stone Massage Spa, a spa concept offering convenient, reliable, top-quality massage services at prices everyone can afford, will open its first Canadian franchise in early 2009.
Siblings Brett and Gigi Harding will serve as the master licensees responsible for debuting the Hand and Stone brand in Canada. They are no strangers to entrepreneurship as business is in their blood. As the fourth generation in family business, Gigi and Brett continue to follow their family’s entrepreneurial footsteps. They currently own the Master License rights in Canada for Kwik Kopy Design and Print Centres and have over 70 locations. Both Brett and Gigi worked abroad with the brand for a number of years and with their proven track record, the brother-and-sister team was certain they could find success in another industry and began searching for a concept that not only would fill a much-needed niche but also allow them room to grow like they did with Kwik Kopy. When they came across Hand and Stone, Brett and Gigi felt it was exactly what they were looking for.
