American brand 10 Minute Manicure is to extend its reach away from the airport and into towns and cities across the US.

The franchise model - which offers manicures on a no-appointment-necessary basis - will be available for sites across the US.

The model for the company changed as a result of the economic downturn, combined with the diminishing amount of renovation work happening in American airports. First opened in January 2006 at Cincinnati Airport, there are currently a total of 10 airport-based 10 Minute Manicure sites. Details: 10minutemanicure.com
