Pros
I have been an owner of 1 SportClips for a year now and couldn't be happier. I am working on opening 2 more locations in my city. We have 10 locations currently here with a good market presence. I have a fantastic team of stylists and we consistently rank in the top 100 stores on revenue and a few of the other metrics. Even the worst performing store in my market is making a profit (I've talked to the owner). I have read several reviews on other sites about folks losing money and bad franchise, etc. but that has certainly not been my experience. Location is very important and SportClips has become more and more involved in the selection process. I think in years past they may have let owners pick where they wanted without much guidance just to get as many stores out there as possible, but now they realize that mistake and are very active in the site selection process.
Kontras
Hiring good stylists and capable managers is hard, but doable. Once you find them, treat and pay them well.
