It’s been just short of two years, since John Teza made a really big career move, leaving behind 20 years of restaurant franchising, to become the President and Chief Development Officer, at Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spas.  Then, barely a year later, John stepped up once again, when Hand and Stone named him CEO.  As CEO, John is responsible for driving the company’s brand strategy and performance across its 500+ spas and clinics throughout the US and Canada. John is a passionate brand builder and is committed to Hand and Stone's mission to make high-quality spa, wellness, and beauty experiences more accessible, affordable, and professional for its clients and team members.

He is also one of my best friends for life in franchising and he returns to Franchise Today, to tell us all about it.
