Lemobar Lands USD7.6 Million to Bolster Massage Chair Sharing Service

Fuzhou Palm Create Information Technology Co., which operates massage chair-sharing brand Lemobar, has closed its first funding round at CNY50 million (USD7.6 million) to develop its products and ramp up marketing. Lemobar places massage chairs in high-foot-traffic areas, such as shopping malls, airports, rail stations, cinemas and tourist attractions. Users can make long wait times less stressful by scanning a QR code on the chair to make a mobile payment and enjoy a massage for a set time period. Chan Siu-kam reports.
