Beverly, MA - December 10, 2009 - Fantastic Sams, the largest full-service hair salon franchise with nearly 1300 salons, was recognized by AllBusiness.com in its annual ranking of the top 300 All Star Franchises. Ranked #74 overall and the highest rated full-service hair care franchise, the Fantastic Sams franchise improved 35 spots compared to last years ranking. Additionally, Fantastic Sams was the highest rated hair care franchise in the Dun & Bradstreet Financial Strength ranking.

AllBusiness.com, a subsidiary of Dun & Bradstreet, used a number of criteria to rank the winners, including growth rate, system size, financial strength, years in franchising and availability of financing. The D&B Financial Strength ranking is based on D&B's predictive Commercial Credit and Stress Scores, company financials, comparative financial ratios and other available information.

"We are pleased that AllBusiness and Dun & Bradstreet recognized the Fantastic Sams franchise as a leading franchise opportunity", noted Jeff Sturgis, Vice President, Franchise Sales & Development for Fantastic Sams. "The salon business continues to outperform many other business segments in this tough economy and we are focused on supporting our franchise partners to grow their business."

Already a prominent player in the $59 billion hair salon industry, Fantastic Sams offers a full range of hair salon services catering to men, women and children of all ages. Customers at any Fantastic Sams can expect full service treatment from a professional team of stylists who are up-to-date on the latest trends and fashions. Fantastic Sams' franchise owners don't typically work in their salon full-time and often have corporate management experience, not direct salon industry experience. Success criteria for Fantastic Sams' owners include strong management ability, leadership skills and keeping engaged in the business.
