Nicholas Marco, regional developer for Hand & Stone, said malls and shopping centers are interested in the spa business because it’s unaffected by the boom in online retail. Not only are consumers interested in wellness treatments, but it’s a service they can’t readily get online, he said. The wellness industry grew by 10.6 percent to $3.72 trillion between 2013 and 2015, accoridng to the Global Wellness Institute.
