Becoming a Sport Clips team leader is a great way to capitalize on one of the hottest investment opportunities this year
If industry experts have learned anything in the past two years with the upheaval of a global pandemic, it’s that people are willing to go to great lengths to prioritize their wellbeing, both mentally and physically, with a Sport Clips, a men’s spa franchise.
Which is why Entrepreneur magazine, the leading publication for insights on entrepreneurship, small business management and business, recently listed “Salon and Spa Services” as one of the “Hottest Franchise Categories for 2022.”
Every December, Entrepreneur magazine’s seasoned industry experts forecast which types of franchises will do best and show the greatest potential for success in the year ahead.
“We look at growth—both in the number of franchise units and in the number of new franchisors in a category—and consider what trends are evident both within and without the franchise world,” Entrepreneur magazine wrote in its report. “To an extent, we also listen to the instincts we’ve honed over years of ranking and writing about franchises.”
True, industries that benefited from pandemic-related needs, such as cleaning and restoration, as well as health and wellness, made the list.
However, Entrepreneur magazine’s experts believe franchise growth in 2022 will be driven by both the need and desire to regain a sense of normalcy, which is why Salon and Spa Services is uniquely positioned for success as people return to in-person self-care.
Indeed, salon and spa industry studies show customers are eager to get back to scheduled appointments after shutdowns temporarily closed salons and barbershops in the early days of the pandemic. Not surprisingly, nearly 80% of consumers said that regular salon and spa services are critical to regain a sense of normalcy as the world reopens.
This is exactly the case at Sports Clips, one of the most widely recognized and popular men’s spa and haircutting franchises in the nation. Founded in 1993, Sport Clips has grown to over 1,800 locations in North America and is the only hair cutting franchise to have a footprint in all 50 states.
All over the country, our franchisees are reporting their customers are restless to get back in the barber chair and reconnect with the people who have cut their hair for years. That’s why we believe Sports Clips is truly poised for a banner year in business and growth in 2022 and beyond.
“Sport Clips is stronger than ever before,” says Edward Logan, CEO of Sport Clips. “We’ve proven that we’re not only recession-resistant, but we’re also pandemic-resistant. This is a very stable business with steady cash flow and straightforward business model. Now is a great time to invest in Sport Clips, because as we head into 2022, we’re excited about the great real estate opportunities that exist right now, as well as the disruption of client behavior. As people change their buying behavior and their habits, the brands that go out and capture those clients are going to win an outsize market share. That’s going to be us because that’s how we’re thinking.”
