Adams St. On the cusp of unveiling its Friday grand opening, this haven of relaxation promises to provide an unparalleled experience of serenity and rejuvenation to its discerning patrons. With a sprawling area of 3,100 square feet, this state-of-the-art spa aims to create a sanctuary where stress and tension melt away like snowflakes on a warm winter morning.

A Haven of Relaxation Emerges in Chicago’s West Loop

Bridging the gap between luxury and tranquility, franchisee Paul Groshko brings his dynamic vision to life with the grand opening of this new location. Having secured a 10-year lease, Groshko has meticulously handpicked every corner of the spa to exude an ambiance of opulence and tranquility. Charting a path towards success, this visionary entrepreneur plans to employ a dedicated team of 20 exceptional individuals who share his passion for providing top-tier spa experiences.

Over the years, Groshko has become a prominent name in the industry, attracting clients from all walks of life through his pre-existing Lincoln Park location. Established in 2015, this 2,800-square-foot oasis of wellness dazzled patrons with its sublime services and a team of 34 skilled employees. Now, with the grand opening of the West Loop spa, Groshko's indomitable spirit and commitment to excellence continue to flourish.

A Promising Expansion on the Horizon

Spavia, a Denver-based company, has set its sights on an ambitious plan of expansion, aiming to establish a total of 200 locations within the next 10 years. Currently, Spavia boasts 55 locations scattered across the nation. However, the company's growth does not stop there.

The driving force behind Spavia's ongoing success, Mark Groshko, reveals his own expansion plans for the upcoming 12 to 18 months. Evanston, Wilmette, Winnetka, Buffalo Grove, and Highland Park are the anticipated locations for Spavia's new franchise openings. According to Groshko, the remarkable strength and reputation of the Spavia brand, which has flourished over the past decade, have now reached beyond the boundaries of Lincoln Park.

Among the potential strategic locations, the West Loop emerges as an enticing hotspot. With its densely populated area and a demographic perfectly aligned with Spavia's target audience, this region offers a delightful blend of business, entertainment, and establishments that prioritize personal well-being and self-care.

Spa Centers Make a Remarkable Comeback

The West Loop, with its thriving community of 28,000 residents and an impressive median household income of $147,000, stands in stark contrast to the city of Chicago as a whole, where the median income is $66,000 as per census data. This affluent neighborhood has weathered the storm of the Covid-19 pandemic with resilience.

The service industry, one of the hardest-hit sectors due to the pandemic's restrictions on direct customer contact, faced unprecedented challenges. However, amidst the adversity, there is a notable resurgence in the spa industry, exemplified by its expansion into downtown. One such establishment, Spavia, with its unwavering commitment to providing a sanctuary for relaxation and rejuvenation, has defied expectations.

While the initial impact of the pandemic was significant, Spavia has emerged triumphant in the post-pandemic era. People sought solace beyond the confines of their homes, craving a venue to unwind and revive their spirits. The demand for a tranquil escape propelled Spavia to exceed all projections, firmly reestablishing itself as a haven for those seeking respite.
