FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Salons By JC Signs 42 Development Deals in 2013, Expects to Open At Least 50 New Locations in 2014
SAN ANTONIO, Texas – Salons By JC, the nation’s fastest-growing salon suite franchise concept, signed 42 development deals for a total of 189 units in 2013.
The development agreements will expand Salon By JC’s national footprint into 15 new states and introduce the company’s business and franchise opportunity to major metropolitan areas such as Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York and Phoenix, among others.
“We always knew we had a good concept with tremendous potential, but we didn’t think it would catch on this quickly. This is a tremendous achievement for us and we are thrilled that our unique approach to the beauty industry is gaining popularity throughout the country,” said Jack Griffey, Co-Founder and CEO of Salons By JC. “We look forward to continuing to redefine the industry and remain dedicated to providing the ultimate salon suite experience for our franchisees, beauty professionals and their customers.”
With 13 locations already open and operating in Texas and Alabama, and more than 100,000 square feet of salon space, Salons By JC expects to open at least 50 new locations in 2014 and as many as 100 in 2015.
A salon suite is similar to a shopping mall. A mall owner puts the building together and leases it out to different businesses. A salon suite works the same way. Salons By JC franchisees can build from the ground up or build out space in a shopping center. Once the space is built, they can begin leasing to beauty and wellness practitioners – including hairstylists, nail technicians, facialists and massage therapists and others who provide services in a traditional salon.
The interior space – which ranges in size from 6,000 square feet to 10,000 square feet – is finished out with 30-60 private suites of various sizes. All of the rooms are fully outfitted with whatever supplies and accessories a beauty professional may need to be successful in business such as barber chairs, work desks, hair washing stations, sinks and towel cabinets. Each stylist has the freedom to design their own creative spaces and use the products they feel brings the highest quality to their clients.
Salons By JC typically operates at an occupancy rate of 95% or higher.
“When you consider that beauty professionals continue to move from traditional independent salons and mid-tier chains to suite rentals in record numbers, there is no wonder why franchisees from all across the country are recognizing our unique investment opportunity,” said Griffey’s son, Steve, who heads up the company’s franchise division, noting that suite/chair rentals now constitute approximately 37% of all U.S. salons and account for nearly $20 billion of the industry’s revenue growth.
