Multi-Unit Operator Taking Over 190 More Regis Salons

Hair care and salon giant Regis Corporation has just announced a deal to sell and refranchise 190 of its units in Ohio and the surrounding areas to franchise operator Super C Group. The salons will be remodeled and converted to Supercuts and Cost Cutters over the next several months, starting in Cleveland.

"We are excited about our entry into the Ohio market. Our strong partnership with Regis and our substantial experience in multi-unit service-oriented retail positions us to be a premier employer in the hair salon business," said Mike Sarafa managing partner, Super C Group. "The focus in these salons will be the relationships with new and long-standing clientele. Our aim, over time, is to build a culture of service that will transform the industry."

This is not the first move by Super C Group this year. Earlier this year, the company purchased and successfully converted 66 salons in Michigan to Supercuts, making them the largest Supercuts franchisee in the Midwest. This agreement makes Super C the largest Cost Cutters franchisee for Regis.

As of March 2019, Regis Corporation franchised, owned, or held ownership interests in 7,838 worldwide locations. Regis' locations operate under concepts such as Supercuts, SmartStyle, MasterCuts, Regis Salons, Sassoon, Cost Cutters, Roosters, and First Choice Haircutters.
