Franchise located in the Metro Health Village

Rob Goggins, vice president of franchise development for Great Clips, Inc., announced the Grand Opening of the company's newest franchised salon in the Metro Health Village, in Wyoming, Michigan.

"This manager-run salon is conveniently located off Byron Center Avenue and Gezon in a booming area southwest of Grand Rapids," said Goggins. "The development sits across the street from the new Metro Health Hospital—the only hospital in Michigan with a 'green roof'—and our Great Clips is next door to an ever popular Starbucks. The demographics of the area are well suited for our value-priced, no appointment necessary service.

"Our franchise owners open to a $55-billion hair-care industry. With more than $700 million in total system-wide sales, Great Clips is the industry leader. And we're in a growing market. People get their hair cut every four to five weeks, and our same-store sales have increased consistently for several years."
