How Marilyn Monroe Spas Expanded a Luxury Lifestyle Brand into a Franchise System

AFI helped this globally recognized brand transition into franchising with full-service support across compliance, strategy, and scale.

The Opportunity

An Iconic Brand Poised for Expansion

Marilyn Monroe Spas brought a world-famous name into the modern beauty and wellness industry, offering a luxurious and recognizable spa experience. With global appeal and strong brand recognition, they were ready to scale — but needed the systems and infrastructure to support rapid franchise development. That’s where AFI stepped in.

The Outcome

Luxury, Standardized — and Ready to Scale

With AFI’s full support, Marilyn Monroe Spas launched a franchise-ready model backed by systems, training, and strategy. Today, the brand continues to grow with a strong foundation that delivers luxury at scale — honoring the legacy of its namesake while appealing to a new generation of spa guests.
