NEW YORK - May 11, 2017 - XpresSpa, the industry-leading luxury airport spa company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of FORM Holdings Corp. (Nasdaq: FH), today announced that it has opened its first location at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX) in Terminal 4, D Gates. With the addition of PHX, XpresSpa now has locations in 22 airports worldwide.
Phoenix Sky Harbor is among the 11 busiest airports in the United States and top 30 worldwide, serving in excess of 40 million passengers per year. The airport recently completed a significant renovation to Terminal 4, its largest terminal, as it better positions its services and amenities for its growing passenger volumes. XpresSpa's location is ideally located near the hub of Terminal 4 next to Gate D2, adjacent to a host of other retail and food offerings, positioning XpresSpa to maximize customer impressions and further raise the profile of the XpresSpa brand.
XpresSpa already has plans in place for its second location at Phoenix Sky Harbor. This second location is currently under construction in Terminal 4, B Gates, and is expected to open later this month.
"XpresSpa's entry into Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is a testament to our Company's superior luxury spa offering that is complementary with the airport management authorities' strategy of enhancing their retail and service offerings," said Ed Jankowski, CEO of XpresSpa. "Additionally, our proven multi-unit model within major airports such as John F. Kennedy in New York and now Phoenix Sky Harbor reinforces our position as the number one luxury airport spa brand worldwide. We are pleased to be aligned with the growing trends at Phoenix Sky Harbor and look forward to additional opportunities in the future," Mr. Jankowski continued.
The new spa was officially opened on May 11, 2017.
