Stéphane Teasdale, the national lead of Fraser Milner Casgrain LLP’s (FMC) Franchise and Distribution Group, co-authored the "Health, Beauty and Fitness" chapter in International Franchising: A Practitioner's Guide.
In recent years, consumers have become more and more concerned about their health and fitness. They are often afraid of being overweight or in poor health, or are simply trying to keep fit to cope with everyday life into old age. Similarly, the importance of good physical health, fitness and beauty has become socially more important during the last few decades. It is not surprising, then, that franchises in these industries have become increasingly popular.
