National wellness franchise earns repeat recognition among America’s fastest-growing private companies as it continues strategic expansion

ST. LOUIS, Mo., – (Aug. 25, 2026) – MassageLuXe, one of the nation’s fastest-growing spa franchises, has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, marking the brand’s second consecutive year and third overall appearance on the prestigious annual ranking of America’s fastest-growing private companies.

MassageLuXe ranked No. 4,211 on this year’s list after achieving 52% revenue growth over the three-year evaluation period. The recognition reflects the brand’s continued momentum as it expands its national footprint, strengthens its franchise system and brings accessible, membership-based wellness services to more communities across the country.

The 2026 Inc. 5000 recognizes companies across industries that have demonstrated significant revenue growth while creating jobs and contributing to the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on this year’s list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and honorees collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Being named to the Inc. 5000 for a second consecutive year and third time overall is especially meaningful because it demonstrates that our growth is not the result of a single moment,” said Kristen Pechacek, CEO of MassageLuXe. “We’ve been intentional about building a strong franchise system that supports sustainable growth, and this recognition belongs to our franchise owners, teams and everyone across the organization who continues to move MassageLuXe forward.”

Founded in 2007, MassageLuXe offers massage therapy, facial services and waxing through a membership-based model designed to encourage consistent self-care and build long-term client relationships. As consumer interest in health and wellness continues to grow, the brand has focused its expansion strategy on partnering with qualified entrepreneurs and multi-unit operators who can establish and scale MassageLuXe in markets across the country.

The company’s third appearance on the Inc. 5000 comes as MassageLuXe continues to prioritize franchise development in key growth markets while investing in the systems, resources and support designed to help franchisees build successful businesses. The brand is also focused on expanding strategically within existing markets, where established franchisees are increasingly pursuing additional locations.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making and a refusal to sit still,” said Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance – it reflects creativity, resilience, and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”

The Inc. 5000 is an annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America and has previously recognized companies including Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle and Patagonia. For the complete Inc. 5000 list and company profiles, visit www.inc.com/inc5000.
