Spavia Day Spa Expands to KS: First Location to Open in Topeka

Spavia Day Spa is continuing to bring its elevated neighborhood day spa experience to communities nationwide and is soon breaking ground in Topeka, Kansas. A new development deal announced today marks the resort-inspired day spa’s entrance into Kansas, providing the local community an opportunity to access the luxurious, yet affordable, treatments that have made Spavia a national leader in the day spa industry.

New franchisee Anne McCormick is poised to introduce Spavia’s unique approach to personalized wellness to the Topeka community as she begins her entrepreneurial journey with the brand.

Once open, the Topeka Spavia location will mark the concept’s 64th day spa across 25 states, adding to the brand’s growing national footprint and goal to reach 200 locations within the next decade. The announcement comes just weeks after Spavia announced a signed agreement for Greenville, South Carolina—another fresh territory for the brand. McCormick is looking forward to providing Topeka residents with result-driven treatments and resort-inspired amenities by working alongside Spavia’s esteemed National Leadership team, which collectively brings more than 120 years of experience in the spa industry.

McCormick’s interest in the spa industry began when she started her wellness journey, which entailed visiting different spas across the world. Through these diverse spa experiences, McCormick recognized the importance of providing communities with accessible environments where they can relax, recenter and renew. She decided to combine her passion for the spa industry and her interest in business ownership, leading her to explore various franchise opportunities in the wellness sector. This in-depth research process introduced her to Spavia and the exceptional services it provides guests. McCormick’s interest in Spavia was further strengthened when she looked into Spavia Cares, the brand’s system-wide philanthropic initiative that encourages each location to partner with local non-profits.

“When weighing franchising opportunities, I found myself always putting Spavia at the top of my list,” said McCormick. “Having visited many spas and wellness providers, I quickly recognized that Spavia truly values its relationships with each guest and ensures that every interaction or service provided is an unforgettable experience.
The support and treatments the Spavia team provided me with were remarkable, and I knew that I wanted to provide the same welcoming, wellness-focused environment to Topeka. Spavia Cares was an additional factor that encouraged me to begin this journey because I am passionate about giving back to my community and making a positive difference, which are the values that Spavia fosters through this initiative.”

McCormick began her career in financing before entering the accounting sector, where she worked for the federal government for nearly 20 years. While serving as Chief of Accounting, she remained interested in the franchising industry as a potential next step in her career. After moving to Topeka, McCormick quickly noticed the local business opportunities, which re-sparked her strong desire to begin her entrepreneurial journey and enter the franchise industry.

“Anne’s extensive interest in franchising and her dedication to providing wellness opportunities for the Topeka community make her a foundational addition to the Spavia team,” said Marty Langenderfer, CEO and Co-Founder of Spavia. “The Spavia National Leadership team is looking forward to expanding into Kansas and providing Topeka residents with a personalized, result-driven spa experience. We are also thrilled to be supporting Anne as she begins her entrepreneurial journey with Spavia.”

Spavia welcomes its guests to indulge in a variety of result-driven services, including massages, body wraps, facials, waxing treatments, lash extensions, and more. Guests can slip into luxurious spa robes and sandals, relax in the spa retreat, enjoying warm aromatherapy neck pillows, exotic teas, and inspirational reading materials. Every aspect of each Spavia treatment is customizable to meet the guest's needs, so there is truly something for everyone. Spavia provides a relaxing atmosphere and resort-inspired amenities to guests seven days a week, offering the flexibility to schedule treatments when they need them most.

Additionally, each Spavia location includes a spa boutique, which provides a wide range of retail offerings, purchasable by guests to extend their self-care routines at home or for gifting occasions. Retail categories include premium skincare products, recovery tools, candles, jewelry, and more. For those looking to prioritize self-care, Spavia also offers three affordable membership tiers: Essential, Premier, and Ultimate wellness programs.

As the brand advances in its national expansion, Spavia is placing a focus on expanding into major metropolitan areas across the United States, with an initial focus on cities within Florida, Georgia and Arizona. The company’s growth is driven by a strong interest from aspiring entrepreneurs like McCormick, who are drawn to a concept that remains unrivaled in the realm of luxury spa experiences.
