Northgate MallTherapeutic services business Massage Heights plans to open a location at Northgate Mall and employ up to 30 therapists, according to mall owner CBL & Associates Properties Inc.
The San Antonio-based business has more than 100 locations nationally. The business is built on a membership model that helps make therapeutic services more affordable while still providing the level of service found in a five-star resort, the Chattanooga mall company said.
Franchise owners are Andrew and Christina Krieger, who relocated to the Hixson area two years ago.
“Regular massage is a necessity in today’s fast paced environment to counteract the stress of work and home demands,” said Christina Krieger in a statement.
The retreat will take 3,000 square feet on the exterior of the mall near Applebee’s and will offer 11 single massage rooms, a couples massage room and two facial rooms.
Construction has begun on the space and the owners are planning to open in January 2015.
