August 7, 2018, Atlanta, GA — Pigtails & Crewcuts, a leading children’s hair salon in North America, is expanding and is pleased to announce franchise opportunities are available in Hoover, Alabama and the surrounding areas.
“The Hoover and Birmingham areas are absolutely blowing up,” Pigtails & Crewcuts Area Representative Andrew McGehee says of the areas’ growth.
Prior to becoming a Pigtails & Crewcuts franchisee, McGehee worked in the restaurant industry and traveled through Alabama quite frequently. “Each time I passed through Hoover and Birmingham, I would notice something new was being built, and usually it was the types of businesses that would only be placed in areas experiencing tremendous growth. Having observed this first-hand, I am confident that the Pigtails & Crewcuts concept would thrive in Hoover and the surrounding areas. There is a lot of potential in the Alabama market.”
Pigtails & Crewcuts is known for taking the experience of a child’s haircut and making it fun for all by providing a stress-free environment for children and their parents. Each salon features books, movies, and toys for children to enjoy before, during, and after their haircuts, as well as friendly stylists, and a party room for special events. Pigtails & Crewcuts salons also feature a retail section filled with haircare products and accessories, toys, and other gift items.
The franchise model offers simple hours of operation, a positive work-life balance, and a welcoming and kid-friendly environment. Franchise candidates do not need specialized or previous franchise experience, nor do they need experience in the haircare industry. Current owners in the Pigtails & Crewcuts franchise range from parents who decided to return to the workforce, entrepreneurs, multi-unit investors, and individuals who have invested in a business as a way to continue working after retiring from their previous careers.
McGehee currently owns one salon in Woodstock, Georgia, and says his decision to invest in the growth of the Pigtails & Crewcuts franchise by becoming an Area Representative seemed like the next best step for him. “I believe in the company. I haven’t been let down. The franchise leadership team is always looking out for us and our best interest, and I wanted to do the same. I know there are people in the Alabama market who want to go into business for themselves, and I want to show them the potential I see in Pigtails & Crewcuts when they start looking at their options,” he shares.
The Pigtails & Crewcuts franchise fee ranges from $30,000 to $100,000 depending upon the number of units in which a franchise candidate wishes to invest. The franchise leadership team offers a combined total of over 75 years of experience in the franchising industry and will provide franchise candidates with expert site selection experience, lease negotiation, and pre-opening support. After opening, franchisees will receive ongoing support and training on the latest operational and marketing techniques, as well as routine salon visits.
“There’s a unique dynamic in the Hoover and Birmingham areas. Families are locating here, so bringing Pigtails & Crewcuts to this market makes sense. The community would support it. Plus, owners would have the advantage of being just a few hours away from Atlanta where the franchise is based. They would be able to visit the franchise office as well as the salons in the Atlanta market to see the franchise in action first-hand,” McGehee says.
Currently, there are over 50 Pigtails & Crewcuts salon across the United States, with several salons expected to open before the end of 2018 in California, Colorado, Kansas, North Carolina, South Florida, and Wisconsin.
