A wellness vision realized
Gentle Crane Wellness Spa opened in September 2023 following a substantial six-figure investment in
its approximately 2,055-square-foot location in a grocery-anchored Rancho Cucamonga shopping
center. The result is an established boutique massage and wellness spa with a completed buildout and
an operating foundation already in place.

The business was developed by an owner with more than 18 years of wellness-industry experience
spanning both large spa-chain operations and luxury/full-service hotel spa environments. Gentle Crane was intentionally designed to combine the operating discipline and consistency of a franchise model with the broader treatment capabilities and guest experience of a full-service day spa.

A broader treatment platform
The spa features seven treatment rooms, including couples and ADA-accessible accommodations,
along with a private shower and body-treatment room, commercial laundry facilities, and eight electric lift massage tables. The private-shower and body-treatment capability supports a wider range of services than massage alone.

Services include therapeutic and couples massage, prenatal massage, reflexology and foot treatments, Himalayan salt stone therapy, cupping, scalp treatments, body scrubs, body wraps, and other wellness enhancements. This diversified menu supports different guest preferences and opportunities for complementary treatments.

An established operating foundation

Trained W-2 employees, established procedures and Zenoti booking system support day-to-day
operations. The seller reports nearly 4,000 client profiles in Zenoti booking system, reflecting the customer relationships developed since opening.

The next chapter

The owner is offering this established wellness business for sale due to family relocation. Following a review of current market feedback, the asking price has been repositioned to $199,000. A new owner can build on the existing facility, service capabilities and operating systems, with many of the startup and development risks already addressed.

2025 financial performance
The finalized 2025 tax return reports $369,661 in net receipts and $54,032 in ordinary business income, with $17,162 in depreciation expense. After adding back depreciation and $800 of California state/franchise tax, broker-adjusted Seller's Discretionary Earnings are approximately $72,000. The exact $71,994 calculation is provided in the CIM addendum.

Capacity for future growth

The existing seven-room footprint provides additional operating capacity without requiring immediate expansion of the premises. Opportunities include digital outreach, referral relationships, improved booking conversion, and greater promotion of body treatments, gift cards and service packages. These initiatives offer potential for future growth, subject to buyer execution and customer demand.

Location and lease
Located near I-210 in a grocery-anchored retail center with established dining options, the spa offers convenient access and exposure to daily-needs shopping traffic. The current lease term runs through October 2028. Any future extension or revised lease terms would be subject to landlord review and approval.

Buyer value at $199,000
At the repositioned asking price of $199,000, a qualified buyer is acquiring an established operating wellness platform with completed buildout, trained staff, an existing client base, diversified service capabilities, systems, equipment and an existing revenue-generating operation, without the development time and execution required to build a comparable operation from the ground up.
Seller transition training is available on terms to be agreed.

The opportunity may suit a hands-on owner-operator or an experienced spa owner seeking an additional location. Financial documentation is available to qualified buyers after NDA execution and confirmation of financial capacity.
