Bodyfriend announces plans to open more than 140 stores throughout the US by 2022 creating over 900 jobs

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Bodyfriend, the biggest massage chair company in the world headquartered in Seoul, South Korea, today announced plans to open nearly 150 retail stores in the US by 2022, starting with California.

Bodyfriend has shown incredible sales growth since its inception in 2007. In its first year the company's sales only amounted to around $2.7 million. Just nine years later the company closed 2016 reaching the stunning $360 million making Bodyfriend the highest grossing massage chair company in the world for 2016.

Today, Bodyfriend launches the "VISION2020" campaign which entails goals of reaching $1 billion in sales per calendar year. To do this, Bodyfriend will continue to maintain its domestic and global leadership position by further expanding into the global market starting with the US. Bodyfriend recently acquired factories in China and Italy, and plans to concentrate its efforts on conquering the Asian and North American markets starting this year. By launching Aventar, a massage chair with a sporty look and stylish design inspired by supercars, Bodyfriend is making its first step into maintaining its global number one spot in 2017.

The percentage of households that have massage chairs in the US is still relatively low. However, with both quality of life and the average life expectancy increasing, there is a need to be fulfilled. 

Starting tomorrow customers and potential business partners will be able to experience Bodyfriend's premium technology healthcare products at CES. The company's booth will be located at Sands, Halls A-D 44363 (Family & Technology Marketplace).
