True rest Float spa

the power of holistic healing with flotation therapy

Before becoming a successful brand focused on helping military veterans and entrepreneurs find alternative sources of healing and income, True resT Float spa opened its first flotation therapy location in 2009 in scottsdale, Arizona.

The rest, as they say, is history and it wasn’t long before they expanded the business to a national franchise operation. From the outset, True REST Float Spa leadership decided to dedicate its philanthropic efforts to the military community primarily for the health benefits floating offers veterans.

Since beginning franchising operations in 2015, True REST Float Spa (“True REST”) has made it a mission to give back to military and veteran communities who sacrifice so much at the cost of chronic mental and physical pain. While traditional medical methods help address the adverse symptoms of military service, studies and anecdotes demonstrate how flotation therapy offers individuals a holistic approach to healing, relaxation and pain relief.

As a seasoned franchisor, CEO Jim Rowe discovered float therapy by accident from a friend who had just retired as a Navy Seal and suffered from addiction and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Over lunch, Rowe’s friend had told him how float therapy was changing his life. Float therapy is the practice of floating in an egg-like pod filled with Epsom salt and water in a zero-gravity and sensory-free environment. Rowe suddenly had a moment of clarity. If a non-invasive and holistic therapy could positively improve a veteran’s life, then he knew he had an obligation to share this news with individuals nationwide. The next day, Rowe flew to Arizona to meet True REST’s founders and discuss the possibility of franchising opportunities. Today, True REST has 42 locations in 27 states and into Canada. Float therapy has become known as an effective treatment for PTSD, chronic pain, providing individuals relief from anxiety and depression, and mental and physical pain by allowing individuals to relax and de-stress in a zero-gravity and sensorydeprived environment. The private space is calm, dim and void of sound and light, conditions that help block distractions and promote healing by reducing sensory inputs to the brain. As military members frequently suffer from chronic pain and PTSD, True REST is proud to offer an alternative therapy that is proven to help rebalance their mental and physical health. True REST Float Spa is focused year-round on providing veterans with the following military-based opportunities:

veterans day: dedicating a Full day of serving military members Free Float therapy sessions

spas to the general public every year on Veterans Day, November 11, to provide complimentary flotation therapy sessions. Active duty military members, veterans and reservists can participate by reserving a one-hour appointment at TrueREST.com/ Free-Floats-for-Military-Veterans.

u.s. military appreciation day – complimentary sessions on the 11th day of each month

U.S. Military Appreciation Day is a special day for True REST to honor the sacrifices made by service members on the 11th day of each month throughout the year. On this day, True REST provides military guests a complimentary one-hour float therapy session. To date, True REST has given away over 17,000 complimentary floats to current and former military members.

Float therapy research with Yellow ribbon Fund for veterans with Ptsd

Because float therapy remains relatively new to the mainstream wellness industry, ongoing research is being done to demonstrate its efficacy. To date, research has proven float therapy’s benefits by decreasing cortisol and stress levels, ultimately impacting multiple internal processes such as the fight or flight response (sympathetic nervous system), PTSD, blood pressure, inflammation and symptoms of anxiety and depression. To continue this important research, to offer more scientific proof and to highlight the health benefits for individuals suffering from PTSD, True REST has partnered with Yellow Ribbon Fund, a national veteran service organization for wounded, ill and injured post-9/11 service members, caregivers and families to support float research. Additionally, True REST President, Mandy Rowe, holds a seat on the board of directors for Yellow Ribbon Fund.

supporting military entrepreneurs

True REST offers a franchising starter program specifically designed for veterans. It is backed by a model of profitability that allows military members to be entrepreneurs by becoming franchisee owners. Not only does the brand offer a 10% military discount off initial franchising fees, but the brand provides access to a network of franchisees, many of whom are also veterans, who bring decades of franchising and business experience. The skills veterans develop in the military across leadership, self-discipline and mission-focused work ethics are strengths that give them a competitive advantage in the world of entrepreneurship. True REST Float Spa’s franchising program is recognized as a top franchise and one of the fastest growing franchises in the nation. It is built on a proven business model ensuring franchising success and a reliable financial return. Many veterans have served in positions of leadership during their time in the military. This experience makes them natural leaders when it comes to owning a franchise. Additionally, veterans are known for their discipline and ability to stay calm under pressure, making them ideally suited to own a growing franchise business and succeed.

With integrity, honesty and responsibility, True REST Float Spa continues to not only be one of the original pioneers but also the largest industry leader in flotation therapy. True REST is proud of its early success and the health benefits they offer their customers. They are committed to expanding its locations throughout the nation to bring communities total body wellness through the power of holistic healing.

If you are a veteran who understands the importance of a well-run business, then you should consider becoming a franchise owner at True REST Float Spa.

Beans & Brews coffeehouse has been around since 1993, when the Laramie family opened shop next to salt Lake city’s beloved hangout, Liberty Park. the family refined the process of high-altitude roasting™, which required special tweaks just like high-altitude baking. they soon got the process just right, and they built a reputation for uniquely smooth coffee in a friendly neighborhood setting. Beans & Brews—or “Beans,” as friends call us for short—is now a staple around Utah and its friends, idaho and nevada. the Laramie family still owns and operates our headquarters, and many baristas from our earlier days have grown into senior roles as managers, directors, and VPs. they carry on our best traditions and work to create new ones too. Meanwhile, around the region, locally owned franchises brew up our beloved recipes for their own neighbors. our guests are our reason for getting up in the morning. We love greeting regulars with their favorite drinks, made just the way they like ‘em. and we dig getting to know newcomers and welcoming them to the Beans community. come in for a cup, alone or with a friend, and make yourself at home. and let us know how we can make your day a little brighter—whether it’s adding extra whipped cream or it’s donating a gift basket to your little-league fundraiser. cheers, and stop by soon. contact: Kim Falk Email: kfalk@beansandbrews.com

VETERan SERViCE bRandS

Veteran service Brands (VsB) is the umbrella organization for four distinct, but affiliated service brands - all of which are exclusive to military veterans. capitalizing on our success with g-ForcE (the first franchise brand exclusive to veterans), we are adding Mach onE Epoxy Floors, FiELd oPs athletic Field Markings, and Paint corPs (like Marine “corps”) franchise systems to the VsB family of veteran-only franchises. initial investment starts as low as $20,000 for FiELd oPs (assuming possession of a suitable pickup truck) and runs as high as $150,000 depending upon which brand, size of territory, truck choice, and equipment package. Franchise Fees are deeply discounted for the first five franchise partners of our new brands (some are already spoken for). Mach onE and Paint corPs normally have a $25,000 Franchise Fee (some of the lowest in their industries), but offer the first five a steep $15,000 discount.

FiELd oPs, already a low $10,000 Fee, offers a 50% discount for the first five takers.

Veterans joining the Veteran service Brands family enjoy instant camaraderie, proven systems in high demand businesses, group discounts, and more.

VsB is actively recruiting qualified veterans across the country to join our team. VsB is already the largest veteran-only franchise system and expects to triple its size in the next 12-18 months. For more information, visit www.VeteranserviceBrands.com

We offer five concepts in one, in a compact footprint, including: pressed laundry, dry cleaning, Wash n Fold laundry, alterations and caring for household items. our business was founded when eight of the Baltimore -Washington, d.c. area’s premier dry cleaners banded together to pool their expertise and resources to create a powerhouse brand. they established an “in by 9, out by 5,” one-low-price-to-dry-clean-anygarment approach that is affordable and convenient for customers to use and easy for operators to sell. We have nearly 70 locations open across the United states, commitments to open more than 100 more, and many territories available immediately for multi-unit development.
