Pearl Baths, Inc., located in Minneapolis MN, was founded by Pearl Higginbotham in 1978. Ms. Higginbotham started her career in the plumbing business in 1961, selling portable whirlpool systems to consumers in the Twin Cities area. It is from this experience that the vision of Pearl Baths was formed. Her idea was to take the kind of hydrotherapy found at medical centers and sports facilities, and make it available for home use.
