Episode #106, Hot Tub History with Alice Cunningham

ByMegan Kendrick
Alice Cunningham and Blair Osborn, founders of Olympic Hot Tub, graced the cover of the very first issue of SpaRetailer in 2007. The couple started the business in 1977 and grew to become one of the top sellers of Hot Spring Spas, winning the manufacturer’s top award three times. The couple was inducted into Hot Spring’s Ring of Honor in 2016 . They were stalwarts of the industry, and in 2016 sold Olympic Hot Tub to longtime employee Don Riling. Watkins Wellness also honored Cunningham by naming the manufacturer’s Alice Cunningham Marketing & Promotions&nbsp Award after her.

Cunningham joins The SpaRetailer Podcast to share her journey in the industry.
