Multi-location businesses on Fresha grew 25.2% year-over-year, generating billions in gross merchandise value, up 25.6% annually. Platform revenue from this segment increased 61% year-over-year.

Fresha becomes the software infrastructure of choice for multi-location selfcare businesses as enterprise growth surges. * 8 hrs ago Fresha, the top-rated AI-powered booking platform for beauty and wellness, is witnessing significant enterprise growth as multi-location and large-team businesses increasingly choose Fresha to manage and scale their operations. Leading well-established brands, including Menspire, Ted's Grooming Room, Gould Barbers, Masaj, Adams Barbers, The Art of Nails, and more, are among a growing cohort of enterprise selfcare businesses adopting Fresha to scale their scheduling, payments, marketplace visibility, and operational performance across expanding locations. Across multiple service verticals, from hair and barbering to wellness, spas, aesthetics and fitness, enterprise and franchise chains are utilizing Fresha to run their operations across their growing networks of locations. As SMBs mature into regional and national brands, demand for a single solution, scalable infrastructure has intensified. A modern beauty business operates across dozens of operational layers, from payments and payroll to inventory, marketing, online bookings, and analytics. Historically, these functions have been managed through fragmented software stacks. Fresha consolidates these critical workflows into a single intelligent platform, reducing operational complexity for growing service brands. From embedded payments and point-of-sale to staff scheduling, marketing automation, and online bookings, Fresha's unified infrastructure replaces the patchwork of systems traditionally required to run a multi-location beauty business. Its enterprise ecosystem goes beyond standard booking by embedding fully integrated payment processing, advanced API capabilities, automated payout routing for multi-site franchises, and AI-powered automations. "Scaling a premium grooming brand across multiple locations requires technology that can keep pace with operational complexity. Fresha provides the infrastructure that allows us to manage bookings, payments and performance across the business in one place. The visibility and efficiency the platform provides have been instrumental in supporting our continued growth while maintaining the high service standards our clients expect." - Niyazi Oztoprak, CFO of Ted's Grooming Room. "Before Fresha, we were constantly juggling disconnected platforms to manage our different locations. We had one system for bookings, a separate terminal for payments, and another tool entirely for staff management. Fresha unified our entire tech stack, giving us the centralized control and reporting we needed to actually focus on growing the brand rather than fighting with software. Fresha is the best platform we have ever used." - Darran Gould, Founder of Gould Barbers. "Operating multiple MASAJ Studios can mean wrestling with fragmented software that often doesn't talk to each other. Operating elements of our scheduling, marketing, and payment processing under one ecosystem helps to lessen the administrative load and allows us to scale smoothly as we grow our business. We can't wait to see what else Fresha have planned for their product roadmap to help brands like MASAJ shine!" - Alice Vaughan, Founder & COO, Masaj. Amongst Fresha's hundreds of thousands of businesses on the Marketplace, thousands are thriving multi-location businesses operating with two or more sites. Within this segment alone, gross merchandise value reflects a 32% annual growth, significantly outpacing business count expansion. Bookings climbed into the tens of millions per month, up 23.4% year-on-year, while average GMV per business rose 17.7%. Platform revenue from a large business segment increased 67% year-on-year, demonstrating clear demand for the all-in-one solution. Momentum continues to extend to larger, team-based, and multi-country operators. Businesses with multiple locations experienced a 25.2% year-over-year growth. This segment generated billions in gross merchandise value (GMV) for Fresha, up 25.6% annually, alongside hundreds of millions of bookings. This activity drove a 61% year-over-year increase in platform revenue. Combined, multi-location operators now represent billions in annual GMV for Fresha. Notably, GMV growth within the multi-location segment is accelerating faster than baseline business growth, indicating strong expansion among existing operators alongside new enterprise adoption. "Large-scale operators are moving away from fragmented software stacks in favor of unified systems that handle everything from AI-driven discovery to complex payments," says William Zeqiri, CEO of Fresha. "Generating billions in GMV, this milestone confirms that Fresha is no longer just a booking tool; it is the operational engine for the next generation of global beauty brands." At the upper end of the market, many businesses operating ten or more locations now rely on Fresha, reinforcing its increasing penetration into large-scale chains. Processing hundreds of millions in GMV each month for businesses with six or more staff alone, the infrastructure is becoming the operational backbone for complex, multi-site service brands. These enterprise solutions, enhanced by AI integrations, are reducing administrative burden while increasing revenue visibility and performance control. Intelligent scheduling optimization, automated marketing workflows, and advanced reporting tools allow operators to manage dispersed teams with greater precision and consistency. This enterprise acceleration reflects a broader structural shift within beauty and wellness. As brands expand geographically, fragmented combinations of booking tools, payment processors, and reporting systems create inefficiencies that limit growth. Unified systems that combine demand generation, fintech, and operational management within a single scalable environment are becoming essential. By embedding marketplace discovery and business management into one integrated ecosystem, the platform enables enterprise partners to benefit from both internal operational efficiency and external customer acquisition.

Already supporting a rapidly growing base of beauty and selfcare businesses across the United States and Canada, with more than 30,000 businesses across North America using the platform, Fresha is intensifying its on-the-ground investment to scale operations, strengthen marketplace growth, and deepen its presence within one of the world's most competitive beauty and wellness markets. The appointment reinforces Fresha's position at the forefront of a rapidly evolving global selfcare economy as the company continues to establish itself as the go-to software provider for SMBs looking to scale and grow their businesses. Scott O'Brien, General Manager of North America at Fresha, commented: "We're going all in on North America. We're tripling the size of our team in key markets, including New York, Vancouver, Florida and California, investing heavily in our brand, and showing up where it matters most: at industry events, in conversations with partners, and in the product itself. As we expand across the U.S., our marketplace expands with us, driving more customers to discover and book with our partners every day. This market is ready for a fully integrated model, and that's exactly what Fresha delivers." O'Brien brings more than 15 years of leadership experience across payments, point-of-sale technology and high-growth commercial operations. During his tenure at Lightspeed Commerce, he helped scale major commerce ecosystems across APAC and North America. His appointment aligns regional execution with Fresha's global infrastructure, ensuring the U.S. market benefits from both dedicated regional leadership and the scale of one of the world's fastest-growing beauty and wellness platforms. Within one of the world's most mature and competitive beauty markets, Fresha continues to deliver consecutive years of accelerated marketplace and GMV growth across the United States and Canada. This sustained momentum reflects the strong client demand for vertical software platforms that bring the entire business operation into one place, from bookings and integrated payments to client retention, loyalty programmes and marketing automation. "Before Fresha, we were stitching together three different tools just to run our day-to-day," said Emelia Fiore of Simply Fresh Aesthetics. "Now everything lives in one place, and we're seeing clients we never would have found on our own through the marketplace. The growth we've experienced since switching has been real and measurable. Having a dedicated North America team behind this platform is only going to accelerate that." This regional momentum forms part of one of the most geographically expansive platforms in beauty and wellness technology. Fresha operates across six continents, powering businesses of all sizes from the United Kingdom and New Zealand to Japan, the GCC, South Africa, and more. Tens of millions of appointments are processed every month through its unified ecosystem, connecting more than 140,000 partner businesses worldwide through integrated marketplace discovery, real-time booking, embedded payments and AI-driven automation. Alongside its strong adoption among independent professionals and SMBs, Fresha is increasingly attracting larger multi-location and enterprise operators seeking scalable infrastructure to manage operations across multiple locations and markets. Franchise networks, salon groups and high-growth brands are turning to Fresha's unified platform to centralize booking management, payments, reporting and marketplace-driven client acquisition within a single global system. William Zeqiri, Founder and CEO of Fresha, commented: North America represents one of the most important growth opportunities in the global beauty and wellness industry. As the market evolves, larger multi-location and enterprise selfcare businesses are looking for software that can scale with them. Fresha was built as an all-in-one platform from day one, allowing businesses of all sizes to benefit from its seamless solutions. The Bee News is seeing huge momentum as leading enterprise salons and beauty businesses choose Fresha to power their operations across multiple locations and markets. With Scott leading its North American expansion, The Bee News is doubling down on this market and building the platform of choice for the entire industry. North America now enters a new phase of executive-led acceleration within Fresha's global network. Despite the market's size and spending power, the North American beauty and wellness software landscape remains highly fragmented, often reliant on disconnected booking systems, standalone payment processors and limited client acquisition channels. Fresha is the answer to this. By bringing these functions together within a single, scalable platform designed to deliver both operational efficiency and powerful marketplace-driven demand generation. As consumer discovery increasingly converges with real-time booking and transactions, Fresha continues to strengthen its position at the centre of the global selfcare economy.
