European Wax Center Inc., the franchisor and operator of out-of-home waxing services in the United States, will celebrate the milestone opening of its 1,000th center in Louisville, Kentucky – Fern Creek on July 18. Located at 7714 Bardstown Rd., this location marks the fifth center for European Wax Center franchisee Mark Mick.
European Wax Center’s executive leadership team, led by CEO David Berg, will host the official ribbon cutting. Members of the local community will also be joining in the celebration, with 13 local business vendors confirmed to be on-site, in addition to special celebrity guest, actress, American country music singer, New York Times best-selling author Jana Kramer.
“Opening our 1,000th center is an incredible milestone for European Wax Center and is a direct reflection of our best-in-class franchise business model and our goal of delivering an unparalleled experience for both guests and associates,” said David Berg, CEO of European Wax Center. “Since 2004, we’ve built a leading personal care brand that revolutionized out-of-home hair removal, and we look forward to continuing to expand our footprint as we work towards our goal of delivering at least 3,000 European Wax Centers over the long term.”
“As a long-time resident of Louisville and a European Wax Center franchisee since 2014, opening the 1,000th center is a very special and emotional occasion for me,” Mick said. “While many businesses were forced to close doors during the COVID-19 pandemic, I was able to expand with four new centers throughout the Louisville, Kentucky and Jeffersonville, Indiana areas. My history with the company is proof that this concept can thrive in big cities and smaller markets alike because waxing at European Wax Center truly is for everybody.”
To support this milestone opening, Mick will make a donation to Family Scholar House, a Louisville, Kentucky-based nonprofit organization whose mission is to end the cycle of poverty and transform the community by empowering families and youth to succeed in education and achieve life-long self-sufficiency.
