May 21, 2009 - Rob Goggins, vice president of franchise development for Great Clips, Inc., announced the Grand Opening of the company’s newest franchised salon in Mantua Square in Sewell, New Jersey.

“This manager-run salon sits on high-traffic Woodbury Glassboro Road,” said Goggins. “The development is anchored by a Lowe’s Home Improvement and PetSmart, with a Target close by. 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.”
