An opportunity for professionals

Three years ago I wrote about The Four Fountains Spa, in my 'Young Entrepreneur Series'. Like all startups they had ambitious plans. Lekin kuch kar paaye ki nahin?

Well, it's nice to know from founding member Anurag Kedia that Four Fountains is indeed doing very well. From 2 spas back in 2008 (both in Pune), they've expanded to 11 spas across 6 cities (Mumbai, Pune, Goa, Manali, Bhopal & Aurangabad).

9 of these spas are operated by franchisees and Four Fountains is actively looking for partners to expand into existing and new markets. Here's the deal:

Partner with The Four Fountains Spa

Four Fountains - India's fastest growing spa chain - is looking for professionals who would like to be franchisees and run their own show! The USP of The Four Fountains Spa is to offer quality spa services at half the prices of other comparable spas.

Four Fountains has a unique business model with investment that is a fraction of other spas and yet offers great returns, as well as other benefits -

1. Professional management with its founders from IIM Ahmedabad and SP Jain
2. 360 degree marketing with a dedicated team to support
3. Dedicated training academy to ensure quality manpower
4. Comprehensive SOPs and audits for ensuring quality and service levels
5. HR policies for employee motivation and retention

The expansion plans are pan India with an immediate focus on Mumbai, Pune and Bangalore. If you or anyone you know would like to be a part of this amazing growth story, do get in touch.

Note: While all are welcome to apply, professional women in their 30s are likely to find this opportunity especially interesting post marriage/ child. It allows them to continue working, flexibility and good, steady returns.

Expected Investment - Around 45 lakhs
ROI - 40 to 50% / Year
Time Commitment - 8 hours/ day in the first year, 4 to 6 hours/ day after the first year
Locations - Mumbai & Bangalore (Immediate), rest of India (after 6 months)

Interested? Contact Anurag Kedia, Head of Franchising (anurag@thefourfountains.in, Mobile - 9967553215)

Happy Matchmaking!
