Sport Clips is seeking a Master Franchiser for Northern New England who will develop 65to 75 stores. Primary market is the the Counties of Fairfield and New Haven plus Hartford (DMA). Estimated franchise fee is $520,000 to $600,000.00 (a portion of the franchise fee can be financed). Master franchisor will need to have his permanent residence in the primary market. Headquartered in Georgetown, Texas, Sport Clips opened its first store in 1993 in Austin, Texas. Sport Clips CEO and founder, Gordon Logan, recognized there was a market niche in targeting just-for-guys hair salons. No longer would a guy have to enter a woman’s salon with its smelly perms and hair colors. With over 140,000,000 men nationwide looking for an alternative to typical women salons, Gordon was right on track. There’s been a little tweaking, but the original concept of creating a "Championship Experience in an exciting sports-themed environment" remains the cornerstone of Sport Clips. Sport Clips is one of the nation’s fastest growing franchises. In January 2007, Entrepreneur Magazine named the company the 72nd Best Franchise in America and was also named the 49th Fastest Growing Franchise.
