[RALEIGH, N.C.]—GLO30, the doctor-founded skin care studio franchise, is excited to announce a major development agreement with seasoned franchise operator Chris Pelnik.
Founded in 2012 by Dr. Arleen Lamba, GLO30 is a membership-based skin care franchise focused on providing personalized routine treatments, medical-grade products and high-tech, high-touch guidance—every 30 days. Notable among its array of powerful tools is GLO30's proprietary real-time AI-powered customization technology, GLOria. In an age where consumers are looking for science-backed results above all else, a brand with the established credibility of GLO30, that encourages consistency, isn't just what the doctor founded, but what they ordered.
GLO30 and the Raleigh-Durham and Greater North Carolina Region
With a proven track record in the health and wellness industry, and as a former multi-unit franchisee of Club Pilates, Pelnik will bring up to 25 locations of GLO30’s high-tech, results-driven skin care experience to Raleigh-Durham and key North Carolina markets, including the Triangle, Triad, Mountain and Coastal regions.
With an established history in franchise development and curating the customer experience, Pelnik is well-positioned to establish GLO30 as North Carolina’s go-to destination for modern, accessible skin care.
“Chris represents exactly the kind of experienced, high-caliber operator we’re proud to partner with as we expand the GLO30 brand,” says Dan Rowe, CEO of Fransmart. “His success with Club Pilates proves he knows how to scale premium wellness concepts, and his decision to invest in GLO30 is a powerful validation of GLO30’s ability to attract the best in franchising.”
Lamba adds: “We’re thrilled to welcome Chris to the GLO30 family. His proven experience in scaling health and wellness franchises, paired with his deep understanding of customer service and brand growth, make him the perfect partner to further GLO30’s expansion in North Carolina.”
Since partnering with Fransmart in 2023, GLO30 has accelerated its national growth, with over 100 units in development and a goal of reaching 1,000 locations nationwide. This latest North Carolina deal represents the brand’s key growth efforts in establishing GLO30’s presence across the Southeast.
