Is now a good time for small business owners to invest in a franchise?
Local entrepreneurs Cassidy and Ely Randleas have acquired the Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa franchise located in NewMarket North. The owners now hold rights to operate the location in west Wichita while maintaining a right of first refusal for expansion into east Wichita.
Why it matters
The acquisition reflects a strategic play by the new owners to capitalize on existing foot traffic at the established NewMarket North site. By securing territory rights for west Wichita, the owners position the business for potential regional scaling in the personal services sector.
The acquisition involves one of approximately 650 Hand and Stone Massage and Facial Spa sites operating across the United States and Canada. The new owners have secured franchise rights for the west Wichita market.

The details
The transaction, facilitated by Gary Oborny of Occidental Management, transfers ownership of a spa that has been active since 2020. The business model centers on recurring revenue from massage, facial, and waxing service memberships. The new owners intend to leverage current operational traffic to maintain stability while evaluating future growth in the eastern portion of the city.
Timeline
The NewMarket North location originally opened in 2020.
Cassidy and Ely Randleas finalized the purchase in October 2026.
The owners will host an open house event on November 19, 2026.
Market Landscape
This acquisition marks a transition from the initial 2020 opening of the NewMarket North site to a new phase of ownership-led growth. It follows a pattern of local operators consolidating franchise rights to capture specific territorial demographics.
Owners in the local service industry should monitor how the Randleas team integrates the west Wichita territory to gauge potential competitive shifts. The right of first refusal for east Wichita serves as a signal for other area operators to monitor future commercial lease and franchise activity in that region.
The takeaway
This acquisition highlights the importance of securing territorial rights alongside physical site ownership to protect future scaling potential. Operators should review their own franchise agreements for similar rights of first refusal that could be leveraged when adjacent territories become available.
What happens next
The owners have scheduled an open house event for November 19, 2026.
