Owner Maricela Olivo and Montrose Med Spa
WHAT MAKES MONTROSE Med Spa stand apart from the competition? We set ourselves apart from the competition by being consistently focused on one thing: the patient. With that focus, we will succeed in a successful and healthy experience and loyalty to Montrose Med Spa. Staying true to our message of intentional wellness is a point of difference where I see other spas being unclear and distracted in their direction. By listening to our patients, we ensure we meet and exceed their expectations. We continually stay on top of the market by offering the best innovative body sculpting and skin treatments that invigorate and energize and are specifically designed to restore balance and strength and renew youth to the body. We also utilize a number of marketing programs to stay on the minds of our guests, including radio, TV, direct mail, email blasts, and unique invitations for exclusive treatments. One element that helps to establish the bar and sets us apart from our competition is our emphasis on providing a complete medical gym experience—from the varied treatments with Emsculpt Neo to a personalized health and wellness and skin evaluation for each individual by our certified staff. We also provide a noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free facelift through EMFace in addition to offering monthly beauty memberships that create a commitment to the overall wellbeing of the patient.

What is EMFACE? EMFACE is a revolution in facial treatments. It is noninvasive, pain-free, and needle-free. By emitting both Synchronized RF and HIFESTM energies, it simultaneously affects the skin and muscles. The end result is less wrinkles and more lift naturally without needles. Best of all, EMFACE treats the entire face in only 20-minutes. Some plastic surgeons are recommending EMFace to patients prior to conducting facelifts! There is nothing like EmFace on the market.
What is EMSculptNeo? EMSculptNeo is the first non-invasive device designed to eliminate fat cells and build muscle non-invasively by a unique combination of radio frequency heating & HIFEMTM in a single 30-minute treatment session. Two treatments in one! EmSculptNeo builds off the legacy of its predecessor, EMSculpt, by simultaneously emitting both radiofrequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energies. The result is more fat reduction and muscle growth than any gold-standard product for less time and no downtime compared to plastic surgery. EMSculptNeo has broad appeal as it can treat patients up to BMI 35! EMSculpt Neo is also for athletes looking to enhance their performance by improving their core muscle strength and overall quality of their workouts. A therapeutic treatment that can also help treat muscle imbalance. Truly a game changer.
Do you offer memberships or other perks? Absolutely. Our beauty and medical gym memberships allow our patients to take advantage of member-only perks and pricing. We also have member-only events and holiday parties. At Montrose Med Spa, we are a community.

Leadership in Action: Clothiers Murry and Karen Penner Celebrate Family Business’ 50-Year Anny
Al Torres
Oct. 8, 2024
Murry & Karen Penner, Owners, M PENNER
How did you get where you are today? We’ve stayed true to the vision of the store’s founder, Morris Penner, who relentlessly sought out unique product, with exceptional quality being a key element. Morris always used to say, “The fastest way to lose a customer is to bore him” and we agree. A percentage of every season’s budget is allocated to something new and unique. While product is key, it’s not enough. Having an excellent staff and discipline in business practices is also critical.
Whom do you credit? MP: I guess I could say that retail is in my blood. My grandfathers on both sides owned men’s clothing stores and my dad opened M PENNER in 1974, so a great deal of credit goes to them. Dad had incredible vision and created a unique niche in Houston’s menswear landscape in the mid 1970’s by focusing on European fashion brands and styles. He quickly became known as a maverick in the industry, bucking the predominantly “American brand trend” of the time. A great deal of credit also goes to the people who work with us, from the sales team to the tailor shop. I also credit Karen and my son, Jeremy, whose dedication keeps us grounded and focused.
What is it like running a family-owned business? Chaos. But seriously, through ups and downs, for us, it’s the best of the best. We get to set the tone and define the culture of the business. Our employees are our family and we treat our clients like family, too. There is a noticeable warmth that permeates the atmosphere at M PENNER and we love that. When you run a family owned business, the bottom line is clear - the buck stops with us.
What lessons have you learned that might enlighten and inspire others? While running a family business certainly can be chaotic, the truth is that it is also very gratifying. And that’s because we have learned a few important lessons. Have clearly defined roles and be clear about who makes the final decision. Find your niche in the market and stay in your lane. Clarify your goals and refer to them repeatedly to stay on track. Hire great people; trust them and let them shine. Stash the cash - in our 50-year history, there have been great years and there have been tough years. Keep enough money in the bank to help get through the tough years. Pay attention to the details. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
What is your biggest accomplishment? MP: It goes backwards and it goes forwards - being in business for 50 years and carrying on the legacy of my dad’s vision and now working with my son in the store. Being known in the men’s specialty store industry as one of the best stores in the country is extremely gratifying. We can’t wait to celebrate our 50th in December!
