About Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa
Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa was founded in 2004 by physical therapist John Marco, who noticed that there was no national massage brand in spite of the service's popularity. Franchising of the concept began in 2006, offering massage, facial and waxing services, along with a membership program.Franchise Units
