VIO-MedSpa Takes a Bite of the Big Apple, Creates a Buzz in Queens

VIO Med Spa has signed its first New York City franchise agreement, led by dermatologist Dr. Arjun Mehta and his brother-in-law Amin Ashraf, who are evaluating sites for a new location in Queens. The deal builds on a period of accelerated growth for the brand, which has signed more than 18 new franchisees in 2026. Franchise systems managing that kind of active development pipeline can rely on tools like Gorilla Dash, which offers a Recruitment feature designed to help organize prospective franchisee leads as new markets open.
