This is your business—but you’re never working alone. From comprehensive startup plans to ongoing operations help and innovative ideas, the support never stops at Waxing the City®.
Improving the self-esteem of the world—that’s the lofty goal of SEB, the parent company of Waxing The City and Anytime Fitness (the world’s #1 “Top Global” franchise), headquartered in Woodbury, MN. The brands start here, and breath this mission.
Waxing The City was founded by four smart, dedicated women looking to put service and waxing excellence first, and make waxing a lifestyle. They opened their first unisex facial and body waxing studio in Colorado and are still involved with the franchise.
CEO Chuck Runyon and President Dave Mortensen founded Anytime Fitness, LLC in 2002, and now oversee more than 3,500 clubs in 30 countries. Their corporate team and tried-and-true franchise system are now being leveraged for Waxing The City.
Every franchisee is assigned a Franchise Business Coach at SEB from day one to help you Get Ready, G.O. (Grand Opening), and Grow. They also provide technology and tools support, offer advice, and answer ongoing questions as your business matures.
“Owning our Waxing the City® studio has provided us with an amazing opportunity to be in business for ourselves, but not by ourselves. We are both excited to go to work each day.
From providing the best waxing services, to building a great staff, we can do it all with the great support we get from the team at Waxing the City®.”
