The website is a work in progress Both places will operate

Wasn't there a beauty spa there before? But, yes, very interesting! Are they going to close the old place?

 

[Rubmegood]

To answer my own question, yes, it was called Thairpy Salon and Spa. You can see it on google street view.

Both places will operate with lots of new girls according to Wendy

Wendy's business model of providing consistently high quality service with no time-shorting, texting during massages, etc, seems to be working. First location is very busy and now a second location. Huh. Who would have thought that giving customers what they want would work?

Damn! I wish they would have built that in the far south east where I live. They don't need anymore Chinese men's spas in the west. I love that she opens till 11p.m.

With all the duds I have had to go through over the years, I am curious where they are going to get these "new girls"? In the past, XIAOPING hired a few themselves. ex: Fannie/Flora

I see their website is under construction: google 3D location photo looks to be in Rome, on cobble streets perhaps by the Vatican...lol!!!!

Perhaps they are planning a TingTing massage outside the Vatican? Their slogan could be: "Cum by for a massage. The beginning is tranquility, the middle is heavenly, the ending is a happy one." ONSITE PRIESTS STANDING BY! (For your confessional needs. Just 10 Eros per confession, or 3 for 15 eros. Yes, I spelled euros wrong, on purpose.)

That's a bold move at this time of business downturn and pandemic turmoil!

Very smart, and disciplined businesses make their boldest moves when others are licking their wounds. No better time to carve a greater share of the total pie, even if the pie is temporarily smaller. This is happening with big global businesses too. The ones that have liquidity will win by being bold.

Certainly rooting for the Xiaoping ladies. Hope they will maintain their standards.

Was never a fan of XP as the ladies were just not my cup of tea. Wonder if that will change here.

Yes, if you are able to invest, this is the time. Commercial real estate rates are better, probably buy liquidated fixtures, have a larger talent pool to build into a strong staff base, etc. Have they struggled a little with staffing? Sure, but nothing like most of the other spas. The staff that hang around to see that the formula of building a regular client base through consistent solid service levels settle in and do well. It's a process, and from what I've seen, Wendy is patient enough to grind through it.

Something I really like there is that I kind of rotate through the staff, and when I see someone different, the others don't give me a death stare. My business always feels appreciated.

If you mean: younger, nicer bodies etc....

Not likely....unless owners are willing to recruit younger ladies by paying for their massage training and/or English lessons.

And probably not, if they can't get a commitment of 2 years from their younger staff, and still make a profit, after educational expenditures.

As places like No.1 find out:
the younger ladies don't stay long, and they likely won't make most guys in this "hobby" "happy" enough with their massage experience.

Yes, I've noticed that, too. I go on binges with one girl, then another and there has never been any animosity. And, for the most part, there isn't much coming and going of staff. (Although I'm always willing to try 'new blood' whenever they hire!)

This isn’t true with all places. I like to ferret out the new ladies and have been told more than once they have to repay fees for schooling and will often owe for boarding or stay on site. One recently told me it would amount to an excess of 30k to repay.
