In this episode of The Lazy CEO, Jane chats with Melanie Gleeson, founder of Endota Spa, Australia’s largest spa service provider. With over 110 locations, a skincare line, a training school, and more than 850,000 treatments performed each year, Endota Spa is a masterclass in building a franchise empire.
But it didn’t come without challenges. Melanie shares how her very first spa almost didn’t open after the council mistook it for a brothel. From there, she takes us through how she turned an unproven idea into a nationally recognised brand. They dive into what it really takes to scale through franchising, the importance of brand consistency, and why slowing down might actually be the most productive thing you can do - especially when leading a wellness business.
