Bree MesquitHOST
But I just, I literally, that mentality, I cannot stand it.
Bree MesquitHOST
When I worked at European Wax Center, I can't tell you how many times I changed the freaking plunger thing on the toilet because it wasn't working and the plumber couldn't come out for a couple days.
Bree MesquitHOST
And we had clients coming in and I would ask my husband, hey, can you run to Home Depot and get whatever this thing is? And like, it doesn't matter.
Bree MesquitHOST
You do what you need to do for the betterment of the business as a whole.
Sarah GonzalezHOST
Okay, when tanning fell out of fashion supposedly, uh, Karen pivoted to waxing salons, and waxing did way better.
Sarah GonzalezHOST
She sold her franchises of European Wax Centers for $18 million, becoming a much more impressive decamillionaire.
Sarah GonzalezHOST
That's an over $10 million millionaire.
Greg RosalskyHOST
And Eric says there's something kind of inspiring about many of these stories.
Bree MesquitHOST
It's kind of crazy.
Bree MesquitHOST
So I was working at European Wax Center still.
Bree MesquitHOST
I'm not even going to, I've told this story, but I was still working there, renting a room on the side.
Bree MesquitHOST
The point of that is I wasn't in my treatment room a ton at all, but then I ended up getting fired because they found out about the treatment room.
DedeHOST
I don't even want to say I feel so bad.
DedeHOST
But I think this episode is going to be so great for the people that work at the European Wax Center.
DedeHOST
All these high franchises and places, right?
AdrianGUEST
Absolutely.
Marie LevitskyHOST

Tiffany GoldsteinHOST

Tiffany GoldsteinHOST
Should I tell the story? Should I get it off my chest? I
Marie LevitskyHOST
mean, you can't just say you hate a company without an explanation.
Zularie MontielGUEST
I just knew I wanted to be an esthetician.
Zularie MontielGUEST
Then I graduated and I got to work at European Wax Center.
Zularie MontielGUEST
That's how I started my waxer journey.
Zularie MontielGUEST
And at that time, I decided to also go and get a degree.
Zularie MontielGUEST
And went and got my bachelor's degree in integrated business from UCF, which is University of Central Florida here in Orlando.
Zularie MontielGUEST
And throughout that time, I was still working in the beauty industry.
Zularie MontielGUEST
So I... you know, did my time at European Wax Center.
Zularie MontielGUEST
You know, I worked there for two and a half years, worked my way up to like red level waxer, did all the things.
Zosia MametHOST
And I feel very seen by this little nugget that I discovered about you.
Zosia MametHOST
You have beef with European Wax Center.
Jake ShaneGUEST
It's the worst place on God's green earth.
Jake ShaneGUEST
Why do you hate it?
Zosia MametHOST
Okay.
Zosia MametHOST
First of all, I have like a deep trauma experience from European Wax Center.
Zosia MametHOST
I went in the middle of like high summer Manhattan
Alison StewartADVERTISER
and
Rachael ChelgrenHOST
And so there is some rapport that's already kind of built in.
Rachael ChelgrenHOST
So this truly like getting to know a new client from the beginning, you know, we did that all day, every day at European Wax Center.
Rachael ChelgrenHOST
We would have new clients every day, even if we were orange or red level waxers, you'd still get a new client.
Rachael ChelgrenHOST
Right.

Rachael ChelgrenHOST
She's an eyebrow, but I used to wax her.
Rachael ChelgrenHOST
No, I didn't wax her.
Rachael ChelgrenHOST
Megan waxed her years ago at European Wax Center.
Rachael ChelgrenHOST
I'll tell you after.
Rick OrmsbyHOST
Now it's like totally a swag.
Rick OrmsbyHOST
Sometimes with today's world that's mostly digital and people ordering online, like that number may not be like a typical drive-through main and main type of a QSR asset, right? If it's like a Massage Envy, a European Wax Center, or some of these more like, or like a fitness brand, Like Crunch or maybe like Planet Fitness, you don't open up and in day one have huge sales.
Rick OrmsbyHOST
It builds, so it goes the opposite.
Rick OrmsbyHOST
Like your opening day sales may be a fraction of what your revenue is like a year or two years down the road as you build out a clientele and a predictable business model in the community.
Kal GullapalliGUEST
So I didn't have that balance sheet, nor was I kind of looking for outside investment at that point.
Kal GullapalliGUEST
So I pivoted to another concept called European Wax Center, which is the leading, you know, out-of-home waxing concept franchise-
Dara SharifHOST
Yeah

And then in these, in PopUp, for example, we're in high growth mode.
Kal GullapalliGUEST
Dave's Hot Chicken, high growth mode.
Kal GullapalliGUEST
And then we have some incubation com- uh, brands right now where we're like, "Hey, let's just start, let's just stay at this kinda one to four unit model until we have the right team to scale." 'Cause again, like, I learned a lot in European Wax Center and, and, and Marco's where we scaled very fast from, like, 4 to 50 in like-
Dara SharifHOST
