While many businesses were experiencing hardships in 2010, established Sport Clips stores (open for at least a year) experienced on the average an impressive nine percent increase in sales last year. The fastest-growing concept in the entire $60 billion hair care industry, Sport Clips has doubled in size in just four years, now with over 807 stores nationwide.

The franchise's retail approach capitalizes on the underserved male market in the hair care industry. It delivers a unique, "just for guys" haircutting experience in a fun, sports-themed environment complete with All-Star memorabilia, sports playing on the television monitors and the ultimate indulgence of steamed towels and scalp/neck massage services to lock in customer loyalty.

Sport Clips, Inc. also employs a unique, franchise business model that enables owners to hire managers to run their new franchise while the owners maintain their current careers. This business model is so successful that Sport Clips has earned consistent and repeated recognition. Sport Clips has ranked in the top 50 "fastest growing" for the seventh straight year in Entrepreneur Magazine's "Franchise 500," in the top 10 in Forbes' "Top 20 Franchises To Start," and in the top 50 in Dun & Bradstreet's AllBusiness.com "2011 AllBusiness AllStars."
