Operating multiple locations offers distinct advantages, and Phenix provides the infrastructure and support necessary for franchisees to scale effectively.

At Phenix Salon Suites, we offer a unique opportunity for franchisees to grow their business portfolio with ease and efficiency. Our real estate-focused business model is designed to help franchisees scale by providing a streamlined process for opening multiple locations.

Multi-unit franchisees Demetri and Tess Ballas are prime examples of how scaling with Phenix can lead to growth, profitability, and community impact. The married couple opened their newest facility at a mall in Centereach, Long Island earlier this year. With over 45 suites available, their site serves as a hub for local Lifestyle Professionals, offering them a prime space to grow their business.

A Strategic Approach to Growth

The couple’s commitment to providing a superior experience for their tenants has made them an integral part of the community, earning them support from local entrepreneurs and professionals alike. Demetri, a U.S. Army veteran, brings discipline and strategic planning to the business, while Tess complements the operation with her keen eye for fostering relationships and creating a supportive environment. Together, they’ve built a franchise operation that not only excels financially but also elevates the Phenix brand as a whole.

Why Scale with Phenix Salon Suites

Operating multiple locations offers distinct advantages, and Phenix provides the infrastructure and support necessary for franchisees to scale effectively. Key benefits include:

Streamlined Operations: Phenix’s real estate-focused model reduces the complexities of traditional franchise operations. With Lifestyle Professionals bringing in their own clients, franchisees like the Ballases can then dedicate their focus to site management and growth.

Economical Benefits: Operating multiple locations allows franchisees to optimize resources, share marketing strategies, and leverage vendor relationships, increasing profitability across their portfolio.

Community Impact: By opening more locations, franchisees create additional opportunities for Lifestyle Professionals, fostering local entrepreneurship and expanding their network of loyal tenants.

Building a Community of Entrepreneurship

The Ballases have gone beyond simply providing physical spaces for professionals to work. Their commitment to supporting local entrepreneurs mirrors Phenix’s mission of empowering Lifestyle Professionals to achieve financial independence and personal success.

“It’s been amazing to build and nurture such meaningful relationships with local Lifestyle Professionals in Centereach,” says Demetri. “Beyond just serving clients, we take great pride in fostering a supportive community where individuals can flourish financially, personally, and professionally.”

Inspiration for Future Franchisees

As Demetri and Tess continue to grow their portfolio, they exemplify the endless possibilities that come with being part of the Phenix family. With the right mindset, support, and dedication, franchisees can follow in their footsteps, building businesses that thrive while promoting their communities.
