The numbers align with explosive growth for Eden Prairie-based Face Foundrié, a facial bar franchise chain founded on Michele Henry's belief that skin care should be redefined as self-care rather than a luxury.
Her instinct was spot on: Face Foundrié has grown to 80 locations across the country.
She told me Monday that another 17 Face Foundrié locations will open before the end of the year.
The Inc. 5000 is expected to come out Tuesday, and Face Foundrié will make its debut on the list of fastest-growing U.S. private companies.
InnovationHere's a fun fact to share with out-of-state visitors, especially teens: Taco Bell innovations often debut or come early to Minnesota, thanks to New Hope-based Border Foods, one of the largest Taco Bell franchisees in the country with more than 250 locations across the Upper Midwest.
