DENVER, Colo. (April 26, 2022) – WellBiz Brands Inc., the pre-eminent beauty and wellness franchise platform with nearly 900 franchised locations globally, recently selected Jason Losco as the company’s Chief Development Officer.

He will be responsible for growing the portfolio domestically and internationally.
The WellBiz Brands portfolio features category leaders including Drybar®, Amazing Lash Studio®, Radiant Waxing™, Elements Massage® and Fitness Together®.
Prior to joining WellBiz Brands, Losco held roles in finance, franchise sales and franchise ownership. Most recently, Losco served as Executive Vice President of Franchise Development for Xponential Fitness®. In this role, he was responsible for secondary market sales, private equity transactions and store closure risk mitigation. With a background as a franchise owner and in franchise sales, Losco brings a unique perspective to the Chief Development Officer role.
“As a former franchise owner, I have passion and respect for what it takes to operate a successful business. I’m absolutely thrilled to be working with the WellBiz Brands team and this portfolio of category leaders,” Losco said. “I also believe strongly in the mission of these brands. There’s nothing more powerful than helping clients feel empowered and confident. There is an abundance of white space in both beauty and wellness, and WellBiz Brands is perfectly positioned for explosive unit growth.”
