Issues

Every other year, SpaRetailer’s Power Women feature highlights the women whose leadership strengthens the hot tub and wellness industry — not through titles alone, but through the way they build teams, grow businesses and shape lasting relationships.

Their perspectives appear throughout the magazine, contributing insight across retail, manufacturing, wellness trends and business strategy. This leadership isn’t separate from the industry — it’s central to its continued evolution and long-term success.

This issue also marks an exciting new chapter for SpaRetailer, with the launch of a newly redesigned website and new podcast episodes that extend the conversations shaping spa retail today.
