NEW YORK - May 30, 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 second location at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (PHX), less than three weeks after opening its first. The second XpresSpa is also located in Phoenix Sky Harbor International's newly renovated Terminal 4, located in B Gates, B15-28.
With two new locations now open in PHX, XpresSpa signature services are now accessible to the over 37 million passengers who travel through PHX Terminal 4 every year.
"Due to the unique nature of the airport retail environment with its captive audience and extended time spent within airport terminals due to security protocols, we have found success implementing our multi-unit strategy in over half of the airports in which we operate, with more to come. We are finding that multi-unit venues are generating brand visibility that is central to further developing trust with our customers. In fact, our multi-unit airport locations actually drive higher unit volumes. This enhanced familiarity with the XpresSpa brand will be instrumental in driving double-digit comp store sales in the future," said Ed Jankowski, CEO of XpresSpa.
XpresSpa's multi-unit model is present within twelve of the highest volume airports in the United States and now includes Phoenix Sky Harbor with the opening of the second location. XpresSpa operates three or more units at John F. Kennedy International Airport, Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Orlando International Airport, San Francisco International Airport, Las Vegas McCarren International Airport, Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport and Philadelphia International Airport.
The new spa was officially opened on May 26, 2017.
