Seasoned Franchise Operator to Expand Innovative Skincare Brand Across the Raleigh-Durham and Greater North Carolina Region
GLO30, the pioneering doctor-founded skincare studio franchise, is excited to announce a major development agreement with seasoned franchise operator Chris Pelnik. With a proven track record in the health and wellness industry and former multi-unit franchisee of Club Pilates— Pelnik will bring up to 25 locations of GLO30’s high-tech, results-driven skincare experience to Raleigh-Durham and key North Carolina markets, including the Triangle, Triad, Mountain, and Coastal regions.
With deep experience in franchise development and customer experience, Pelnik is well-positioned to establish GLO30 as North Carolina’s go-to destination for modern, accessible skincare. The expansion will introduce GLO30’s AI-powered, membership-based skincare studios to growing markets such as Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Apex, Winston-Salem, Greensboro, Asheville, and Wilmington, among others.
“Chris represents exactly the kind of experienced, high-caliber operator we’re proud to partner with as we expand the GLO30 brand,” said 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.”
Founded by Dr. Arleen Lamba, GLO30 has redefined skincare with its membership-based model, real-time AI-powered customization through proprietary technology (GLOria), and focus on long-term skin health over one-time treatments. The brand’s combination of medical expertise, advanced technology, and personalized approach continues to attract top-tier multi-unit franchisees from leading wellness brands.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Chris to the GLO30 family,” said Dr. Arleen Lamba, Founder and CEO of GLO30. “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.
