August 24, 2009 - Rob Goggins, vice president of franchise development for Great Clips, Inc., announced the Grand Opening of the company’s newest franchised salon in the Woodlake Crossing Shopping Center, in San Antonio, Texas.

“Our manager-run salon is conveniently located on the southwest corner of FM 78 and Woodlake Parkway on the east side of San Antonio,” said Goggins. “This 300,000 retail shopping center on 40 acres is anchored by a Super Target, and of course, our Great Clips. 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.
