Insights
XWELL's expansion beyond airports into high-traffic locations signals strategic diversification of its wellness business model.
XWELL's recognition as a top-10 brand in Yelp's airport rankings demonstrates strong consumer validation of their wellness offerings in travel environments. What's strategically significant is their pivot to non-airport locations in Clearwater and Penn Station—representing a fundamental business model evolution beyond their traditional captive-audience approach.
The Penn Station location reveals clever positioning—targeting high-volume commuter traffic with a grab-and-go format tailored to hurried consumers, while the Clearwater standalone center adopts a more comprehensive wellness center approach. This dual-format strategy tests different operational models simultaneously.
The Orlando Magic partnership establishes credibility in the premium wellness space and creates cross-promotional opportunities with sports audiences. This three-pronged expansion strategy—airport excellence, retail diversification, and brand partnerships—indicates a coherent growth plan targeting multiple consumer touchpoints.
Most revealing is their mention of upcoming federal institution partnerships and focus on both rural and metropolitan regions, suggesting XWELL is pursuing government contracts while ensuring their expansion has sufficient geographic diversity to mitigate market-specific risks. This signals a maturation from airport concession specialist to a multi-channel wellness provider with diversified revenue streams.
Amid industry recognition, XWELL expands its wellness footprint, bringing self-care beyond the terminal with new locations and partnerships
NEW YORK, June 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- XWELL (Nasdaq: XWEL) (“XWELL” or the “Company”), a leading provider of wellness solutions for people on the go, is proud to share that Xpres Spa has been named one of Yelp’s “Most Loved Airport Brands.” Based off millions of reviews and ratings from U.S. travelers, Xpres Spa was ranked 10 out of 25 brands that have earned a loyal following among travelers.
“Yelp’s recognition reinforces what we’ve seen firsthand: travelers are increasingly seeking comfort and quality at the airport,” said Ezra Ernst, CEO of XWELL. “Whether they’re arriving early to browse wellness-focused products or turning to sleeping pods during a long delay, they know Xpres Spa is there, and they’re making the most of it. We’re honored by this recognition and excited to extend our mission of self-care for all into new spaces this year.”
New Locations in Clearwater and Penn Station
This summer, XWELL will open its first out-of-airport locations in Clearwater, Florida and New York’s Penn Station. These openings mark a pivotal step in making premium self-care more accessible for consumers in high-traffic, high-need environments.
In Clearwater, the Company will launch a wellness center offering its core treatments—massage, skincare, and recovery—in a standalone, modern retail setting. In New York, the Penn Station location will serve as a grab-and-go destination for wellness essentials tailored to busy commuters.
Momentum Continues with Purposeful Partnerships
In addition to geographic growth, XWELL is broadening its reach through new strategic partnerships. Most recently, the Company announced a multi-year collaboration with the Orlando Magic, officially designating XWELL as the “Official Wellness Spa” of the NBA Team.
Looking Ahead
In the weeks and months ahead, XWELL will continue to build on its momentum with additional location announcements, strategic partnerships with federal institutions, and a rollout plan that includes wellness access across both rural and metropolitan regions – ensuring its services are equitable, scalable, and rooted in real community needs.
