Global wellbeing organisation, Therme Group US and Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser have announced an agreement to work together toward identifying a site for a new Therme facility.
Therme is expanding to the US and has identified the DC-Maryland-Virginia (DMV) region for its premier flagship facility. For the duration of this one-year exclusive rights agreement, Therme will only explore sites in the District and not seek to compete with the District against surrounding jurisdictions. The framework states that the Mayor’s Office will support Therme’s efforts by helping to identify potential locations in the District and that they will collaborate on efforts to engage with council members, business leaders, community partners, and residents.
“This is an incredibly exciting opportunity for Washington, DC. When we create destinations that not only bring more visitors to our city, but also create new experiences for our residents – that is a win-win,” said DC Mayor Muriel Bowser. “We know that people are the key to our city’s comeback, and people want experiences that are fun, that support health and wellness, and that are different than what we already have in the region – that is what Therme will bring to DC. In addition to creating a new experience, this will also create more jobs for DC residents and more support for local businesses. All of that is critical to our comeback.”
