Full Service salon brand continues national expansion efforts

BOSTON – Fantastic Sams, a full service hair salon brand with nearly 1400 salons in the US and Canada , announced it has signed 72 new franchise agreements with 31 new franchisees across 15 states year to date through May 31, 2007.

These results are indicative of Fantastic Sams’ enhanced expansion plans and renewed focus on development in growing metropolitan markets nationwide.  Target areas include: New York, Philadelphia, Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Cleveland and Los Angeles. 

“We are excited to be expanding in markets where research has shown consumers will return time and time again to enjoy the superior hair care our salon guests have come to appreciate and expect,” said Jeff Sturgis, Vice President, Franchise Sales & Development. “We recently received commitments to open salons in markets like New York, Atlanta and Los Angeles and expect to continue this momentum in Dallas and Houston as well. Our new franchise partners come from a diverse background and have committed to opening from one to 10 salons each.”

Fantastic Sams is currently concentrating its efforts on attracting quality franchise partners who want to invest in a leading hair salon brand with a solid operating system and strong corporate support structure. The average initial investment to open a Fantastic Sams Hair Salon (ranging from $100,000 to $225,000) and the company’s fixed fee royalties make it one of the most competitive opportunities in the industry.  “With Fantastic Sams’ proven economic model, experienced franchise partners find our brand an attractive investment,” added Sturgis.

In addition to creating a business ownership opportunity for local entrepreneurs throughout the country, each new Fantastic Sams salon location will contribute to the economy by creating new jobs and providing area residents with the best in full service hair care and professional hair salon products.
