Tradeshow Success Story
From Tradeshow to Franchise Success Story: Meet Stella Hoang of Sabai Thai Spa
After five years in hospitality and wellness, Stella attended the Vancouver Franchise Canada Show, where she discovered Sabai Thai Spa. She aligned perfectly with the brand’s values and was inspired to open her own location — the brand’s first franchised spa. “It’s like going to Thailand without a ticket,” she told the Franchise Canada Chats podcast.
