Acara Partners to Launch A National Medical Spa Acquisition Strategy

Spa industry leader, selects the medical spa industry to launch its latest consolidation strategy

Branford, CT, February 06, 2007, -- Acara Partners announced today the launch of its latest venture. “We are excited to launch our nationwide consolidation strategy in the very fragmented medspa industry. This area has experienced rapid growth with no non-franchise national leader emerging. Acara’s vision is to bring order to this spa industry segment that has developed with minimal standards and operating benchmarks. Acara’s plan is to apply its tried and true operating formulas to add value and build a strong national brand in this spa segment.” states Francis X. Acunzo, CEO of Acara Partners. Acunzo is a 20-year veteran in the spa and hospitality industry and was one of the first innovators to put laser hair removal equipment in a spa setting in the early 90’s.

This type of venture is not new to Acunzo. He is the Founder and former CEO of Stonewater which successfully acquired 22 of the best day spas in the country before it was merged with Premier Salons. More recently, Acara MedSpas, a division of Acara Partners, was contracted to take a chain of 37 medical spas out of bankruptcy and stabilize the entity. Acara increased annualized revenues from $0 to approximately $18 million in under 4 months. Acara MedSpas is a management company that offers turnkey solutions for the planning, development and implementation of medical spas and ongoing management services including sales, operations and marketing.

Acara Partners is selectively seeking out high quality, successful medical spas in targeted markets before expanding their reach nationally. “We are looking for the top medical spas for our new venture. We have strict criteria that includes top line revenue of greater than $1 million annually for our acquisitions” states Acunzo.

Acara Partners is an investment company formed by Francis Acunzo to leverage the growing popularity of spas and the population’s increasing desire to live a healthier lifestyle. Visit the Acara Partner’s website: www.acarapartners.com, or Acara Medspas’: www.acaramedspas.com.

You can clean your home, fruits, vegetables and meats with the same 'Aqueous Ozone' that spas and other companies use. Tersano's ‘Aqueous Ozone’ Cleaning Systemt is the world's most effective chemical-free cleaner. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ quickly oxidizes (kills) viruses and bacteria (including E.coli, Salmonella, MRSA, C-Difficil), mold, mildew and other contaminants on any item or surface - from toilets to bedspreads - before changing safely back into water and oxygen. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ is 3000 times faster and 50% more powerful than bleach and chlorine-based cleaners. It is 100% chemical free - no toxins, carcinogens or chemical residue - and safe for babies, pets and people with sensitive skin or those with strong reactions to normal cleaners. ‘Aqueous Ozone’ has long been used in water treatment, food sterilization and medical therapies for its remarkable anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. It sounds too good to be true, but the data show how effective the system works.
I'm a believer.
