Franchise Spotlight

As context, I met a group that purchased 16 units of Hello Sugar at a recent expo and thought I should take a closer look at it. They just released new item 19 earnings claims numbers and I think this is an extremely interesting play for those of you seeking to run a business while maintaining your full-time job. Details on Hello Sugar are below!

  • Technology and AI company that happens to be in the hair removal industry

  • A Brazilian wax and sugar salon that operates differently. While competitors take a year to build a $400k flagship in a location they have no idea is going to work, Hello Sugar mitigates the risk by opening a lean salon suite first, incubating it for a year, and then turning your mature, profitable business into a flagship location when the time is right.

  • Only Franchise Concept offering Wax, Sugar, and Laser Hair Removal.

  • Receptionless: Automated Reception team and AI - AI won’t turn over or no show!

  • Done for Zees Lead Generation - 100% of digital ads managed by Hello Sugar HQ

  • In-house built reporting systems and KPI Dashboards for Executive Ownership

  • Truly an Executive Ownership Model, with many owners keeping their day jobs and having the ability to manage their salons remotely

  • Highly scalable—expand with multiple locations

  • Total Investment: $269k - $615k (varies based on location and size)

  • 25%+ Net Margin Potential (see item 19 earnings claim below)
