A Great Massage expand in Collierville

A local massage therapy business will move from a 1,800-square-foot space to a 2,200-square-foot Collierville location at 777 W. Poplar Ave.

A Great Massage signed a 7.5-year lease at the 9,500-square-foot Byhalia Crossing Shopping Center, making the retail center 100% leased.

Barry Maynard and Frank Dyer, both senior vice presidents at Gill Properties, represented the business owner and the landowner, American Properties Co., an affiliate of Bartlett-based Underberg Property Management, in the lease.

Business owner Juan-Hong Chen expects the new business location to open later this year.

Chen moved the business from 875 W. Poplar Ave., across the street from the new location. Maynard and Dyer are helping Chen expand A Great Massage across the Mid-South. Chen also owns two I Love Pho locations at 567 Perkins Extended and 1710 Union Ave.

“I’m just excited to see Memphis people like (Chen) continue to invest and open up more stores,” Maynard said. “You have him that’s not only invested in one and two and three but continues to invest because he sees Memphis is such an unbelievable opportunity and a great market.”

A Great Massage has two locations in Virginia and seven locations in the Memphis area, including Midtown, Downtown and Germantown.
