The Great Clips franchise opportunity is thriving and attracting prospective franchisees eager to own their own businesses even during troubled times.
“We’re on track to welcome more than 100 new franchise owners into our system this year,” said Rob Goggins, vice president of franchise development for the 2,700-unit hair salon franchise company.
“Hair grows every day, and people are still getting their hair cut every four to five weeks. Our Great Clips business model is positioned on a no appointment, value-priced haircut, which does well when the economy is humming, but even better when consumers are trimming expenses.”
Case in point is Detroit where unemployment is almost 21 percent. Great Clips franchisees Sandra and Raine Campeau have five salons in the metro area and their sales are up more than five percent over the last six months–that’s recession resistant.
