Sona MedSpa Franchisee Buys Company
BREAKING NEWS: Sona MedSpa Chain Sold to North Carolina Operator
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Blue MauMau) - Byron Ashbridge, who operates five Sona MedSpa franchise centers in North Carolina with business partner, Joe Pitt, has purchased the franchisor company for an undisclosed amount. The information was confirmed by his center manager today. Pitt had previously been with Carousel Capital, a financial partner of CEO Heather Rose and father Jim Amos, when they purchased the Sona MedSpa franchise in 2004. Ashbridge had also headed the Franchisee Advisory Council for the company.
According to his office, Ashbridge was unavailable for comment today, as he was away for the weekend.
The Sona MedSpa system has been in the news repeatedly this year, as the company fought legal action brought by franchisees. Last July the company was found guilty of negligent misrepresentation in an arbitration brought by Kempton Coady, and was ordered to pay $400,000.
