THE TOX Franchise

The Tox Franchising Group, LLC was formed in January 2021 and began offering franchises in February 2021. The company converted from a California entity to a Florida limited liability company in July 2023 and is based in Vero Beach. Founder and CEO Courtney Yeager leads the brand; affiliate-operated Tox locations have offered the concept since 2019.

The franchise provides lymphatic-based body sculpting services using The Tox’s prescribed techniques, products and operating procedures. A studio brings together treatment space, reception, appointment management and retail products. Owners obtain a location approved by the franchisor and remain responsible for the premises, hiring, applicable professional qualifications and any required licenses.

Studio setup and owner participation

The initial franchise fee is $49,500. A separate $15,000 initial technique-training fee covers up to six people, including up to four technicians and two business operators. Studio development also involves lease deposits, construction, furnishings, inventory, technology and launch marketing. An approved general manager may oversee daily operations, but the owner must remain active in supervising the business. The general manager must complete required training and work full time in that role.

The initial program covers The Tox service protocols and techniques, products, brand standards, front-of-house operations, sanitation and the Mindbody business system. It combines 70 hours of classroom instruction with 76 hours of practical training at a designated location, with some sessions available online. Required participants must complete the program successfully before opening. Tuition for the initial group is separate from travel, lodging, meals and wages; additional trainees currently cost $2,000 each.

Before opening, The Tox provides site selection guidelines, access to the operations manual, required equipment and product specifications, initial training and employee qualification standards. Owners handle lease negotiations, construction, permitting and recruiting. The studio uses designated systems for booking, point of sale, customer management, inventory, reporting and bookkeeping, with technology and marketing services carrying ongoing costs.

After opening, individualized assistance is available through telephone, video and email within reasonable limits and subject to staff availability. The franchisor provides updated supplier specifications and promotional artwork and may require additional training or attendance at conferences. Supplemental on-site instruction and opening support can involve separate fees and trainer expenses. Owners continue to manage their teams, meet service standards and execute approved local marketing.

The Tox offers an owner a focused wellness-studio concept with defined service methods, branded products and an established training curriculum. Its operating system links technician skills with front-of-house service and appointment administration, giving the business a clear day-to-day structure. The brand’s designated booking and reporting tools help organize the work of managing a service studio.

This opportunity may suit an owner interested in leading a customer-facing wellness team and maintaining a consistent studio experience. The initial training covers both technical service delivery and business operations, while manuals and continuing assistance support ongoing execution. Active management, qualified personnel and attention to customer service are central to operating the franchise.
