Oakwell Beer Spa goes National: Award-Winning Spa & Taproom Concept Launches Franchising Nationwide

DENVER - Jan. 21, 2026 - PRLog -- Oakwell Beer Spa, the award-winning day spa concept that fuses craft beer culture with modern wellness, today announced its national expansion through franchising. Recently recognized by USA Today's 10 Best as one of the nation's best spas, named by TIME's list of the World's Greatest Places, and honored by Entrepreneur as one of the Best Mom & Pop Shops in America, Oakwell is now inviting entrepreneurs across the United States to bring this unique concept to their local market.

Since opening in Denver's RiNo Arts District in 2021, Oakwell Beer Spa has operated near full capacity, with strong demand from both locals and visitors alike. In April 2025, the brand expanded to its second location in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, which was designed to incorporate lessons learned in design, guest flow, and operations to create its prototype for nationwide franchising.

"We've proven Oakwell is more than just a spa — it's a profitable, scalable business model," said Damien Zouaoui, co-founder and part of the husband and wife team of Oakwell Beer Spa. "By blending two booming industries — wellness and craft beer — we've created a category-defining concept that franchisees can now bring to their own communities."

Oakwell's concept is a natural fit for markets that combine a vibrant craft beer culture, strong wellness demand, and tourism appeal. These environments mirror the conditions that fueled Oakwell's success in Denver and Highlands Ranch, making the brand highly adaptable to communities nationwide.

Unlike traditional spas, Oakwell attracts a balanced mix of male and female guests, many of whom are first-time spa-goers, by offering a fun, unpretentious environment that feels more like a social outing than a meditative retreat. By tapping into both the social nature of craft beer and the growing consumer appetite for unique wellness experiences, Oakwell is well-positioned to thrive in cities and regions where guests are seeking something different from traditional spas.

"The appetite for Oakwell has been clear from day one," said Jessica Zouaoui, co-founder of Oakwell Beer Spa. "Guests continue to ask when we will bring Oakwell to their city, and franchising allows us to finally answer that call. This is a chance for entrepreneurs to be first movers in their market with a proven, in-demand concept."
