Jack: Jack’s background includes 30 years in the franchising industry, 15 years in the health and wellness industry, and seven years with Hand & Stone. He believes this is a marketer’s nirvana – the brand positioning aligns perfectly to consumer sentiment, a great corporate team at every level that all share the same passion for the brand, and awesome franchisees who not only bring forward awesome concepts but execute on the plans they develop to perfection.

Meghan: Beginning her journey with Hand & Stone as a Spa Associate in their flagship store in 2007 Meghan, now SVP Franchise Operations where she leads a team of 17 passionate professionals that are dedicated to supporting their franchisees.
