Thuringer arrives at the Denver-based franchisor with a mandate to accelerate development and attract new entrepreneurs. His track record at Purpose Brands, where he oversaw growth for Anytime Fitness and Waxing the City, aligns with WellBiz CEO Amanda Clark’s vision for the company’s next expansion phase. Clark highlighted Thuringer’s ability to build relationships and manage brand scaling as primary assets for the organization.

During his previous role, Thuringer earned the top spot in FranNet’s rankings twice in the last three years, closing more than 250 deals in that period alone. He noted that the current scale of WellBiz Brands mirrors the trajectory he witnessed at his former company. By leveraging the existing WellBizONE technology platform and the firm’s established presence in the beauty and wellness sector, Thuringer aims to replicate his past success in driving unit growth and fostering franchisee trust.
