You don’t need prior experience running a wellness studio to own a Salvation Wellness franchise. The ideal candidate is someone passionate about health, mindfulness, and community. A background in wellness, yoga, massage therapy, or business management is helpful but not required. We’re looking for motivated entrepreneurs who care about creating inclusive spaces where people can relax, heal, and feel at home.
Franchise owners and their managers participate in comprehensive training at our New Jersey headquarters, learning the foundations of the Salvation Wellness model, from daily operations and marketing to client care and studio management. Our team also provides on-site launch support, operational guidance, and continued access to our confidential operations manual.
The estimated initial investment to open a Salvation Wellness franchise ranges from $436,400 – $1,052,300, which includes the $50,000 initial franchise fee. This investment covers startup costs such as build-out, equipment, training, and marketing. As with any new venture, adequate working capital is recommended to support your business during its early growth phase.
Salvation Wellness does not provide direct financing to franchisees, but we may refer qualified candidates to third-party lenders experienced in franchise funding. Some investors also choose to explore SBA-backed loans or local business financing programs. Discounts on the franchise fee are available for veterans, licensed massage therapists, yoga instructors, and multi-unit owners.
Yes. Salvation Wellness franchisees pay a 7% royalty fee based on net revenues to support ongoing training, brand initiatives, and operational improvements.

For full details, please refer to the Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD).
Franchisees are required to spend $20,000 to $28,800 on grand opening promotions during the month before launch. Local marketing expenditures are $5,000 per month during the first year and $3,000 per month thereafter, helping you build and maintain strong local visibility within your community.
The initial term of your franchise agreement is 10 years, with options to renew for additional terms as long as you remain in good standing and meet brand performance standards.
