What our franchise owners are saying
Meet Alia Alston
Since the Icebox Cryotherapy inception in 2012, Icebox was designed to grow and be duplicated easily for franchising. We’ve created a successful business using simplified services and a membership-based concept to make people feel and look their best! We hear from our franchisees that this is the most rewarding job or business they’ve ever had. Icebox has proudly grown to over 40 studio locations open or under development with plans on growing strategically and rapidly in the next few years.
Alia Alston, Founder and visionary of Icebox, brings over 20 years’ experience in retail marketing and product development. She’s highly experienced and knowledgeable in building and promoting a company from the ground up. Alia is surrounded by a dedicated Leadership Team, Area Representatives and Franchisees that have the same goal, passion and drive of delivering the Icebox Experience nationwide.
