In this episode, the hosts examine a two-location luxury day spa franchise in the Dallas–Fort Worth area listed for $6.5M. The business generates roughly $6.4M in annual revenue and about $1.4M in EBITDA, giving it a valuation around 4.6–4.8× earnings—a multiple that seems reasonable for a stable franchise with two decades of operating history.

Key Highlights
- $6.5M asking price for a two-location luxury day spa franchise in Dallas generating $1.4M EBITDA.
- Massive locations with 41 treatment rooms and ~70 employees across both spas.
- Business has 20 years of operating history, one of the longest-tenured franchise deals reviewed on the show.
- Key diligence items include lease terms, labor model, and recurring membership revenue.
- Debate around franchise deal dynamics: outsiders may need to overpay versus existing franchisees.
