Toronto, Ontario, March 23, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiniLuxe, Inc. (“MiniLuxe”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of MiniLuxe Holding Corp (TSXV: MNLX), is pleased to announce the expansion of its studio fleet footprint with two new locations in West Central Florida – the Icon Central in St. Petersburg and the Water Street Development in Downtown Tampa.
“We are excited to launch a new growth market in West Central Florida, which will be an anchor for us as we continue to expand into the Southeast,” said Zoe Krislock, CEO of MiniLuxe. Krislock added, “As we evaluated different markets, the ‘sunshine state’ stood out to us as a clear winner for MiniLuxe’s omnichannel expansion. Florida has one of the highest nail designer talent concentrations in the country, as well as long-standing proven demand for habitual nail care. It is a great opportunity for us to offer elevated standards of nail care for both our team members and clients as we pursue our mission to not just create a company but to transform the industry.”
“The supply and demand dynamics in Florida are truly unique and will allow us to expand profitably,” said Tony Tjan, Chairman of MiniLuxe. He adds, “Each of these locations offer a strong fit with MiniLuxe core values of clean and sustainable self-care and economic empowerment – Water Street in Tampa is the first wellness-oriented lifestyle development center in the United States, with a thoughtfully curated assortment of businesses, and Icon St Petersburg gives us an opportunity to be part of the revitalization of an existing neighborhood.”
“We’re excited to bring a national service-oriented retailer like MiniLuxe to the district as we continue building a diverse and thoughtful retail landscape for our community,” said Lee Schaffler, Chief Portfolio Officer for Strategic Property Partners. "MiniLuxe's eco-friendly and self-care-oriented mission dovetails perfectly with our focus on wellness and sustainability, so they were a natural partner for Water Street Tampa." MiniLuxe will open both these studios later this year with special launch activities underway and has begun researching additional locations in the area.
