Float Quad Cities

Thank you for this fantastic review! One of the reasons we decided to have 5 float cabins at our new location is so that we could offer more outreach.

We stay busy, so having more capacity allows more flexibility to work with different organizations to support our community!

I'm sharing this, because this is the stuff you don't get to hear from the big corporations.

👂 You only hear this stuff from small businesses.

Businesses that start from a tiny seed, get nurtured and watered and fed over years, and grow into something no one could have imagined.

So the story goes...my contractor and I were looking at this big, large, blank wall that faces the street, conveniently placed in front of a long line of gigantic windows at the building we are renovating for FloatQC's new home (not done yet).

He said casually, and with the utmost sincerity...

"You should put FloatQC's story on this wall, and light it up so everyone can see it."

And, I cringed.

👀 What story? There's no story. 👀

I started a business in Moline. People like it. End of story.

So I quickly shut that conversation down.

Many of you know this renovation has taken much longer than I anticipated. And I have wanted to give up so many times.

But you know. It's something I tell you all. Day in and day out, while encouraging you to JUST COME FLOAT.

--- Transformation happens in the spaces that make us uncomfortable. What I've learned is that the story matters. My story. Your story. It matters. ---

I started FloatQC officially back in 2016. By myself. Me, myself and I. Lots of people thought I was crazy. The people that said they would support me, didn't.

Banks wouldn't give me a loan, even though I had great credit and collateral. It was an unknown business. Not yet proven.

So I used credit cards and my house and got it done.

We officially opened January 27, 2017 - ALMOST TEN YEARS AGO!!!! And I found my people.

Now I'm doing it again. As crazy as I might be, I went 0 to 60. From a small hole in the wall float center that people have said to my face, "Oh, I thought that was a money laundering front!!!"
..to a building 10x the size, 5 float cabins and multiple other wellness modalities.

Expanding, incorporating more of my gifts that many of you don't know about.

Creating one of the most unique businesses the Quad Cities has ever seen.

We are getting closer, super close! You can support my vision by continuing to float at our original location (911 16th Ave. Moline) and ordering organic juice and gluten free, plant based meals!!!!

I appreciate every single person who has walked through FloatQC's doors, commented, shared. It's been a transformational journey!!!! ~Aaralyn, Owner
