August 25, 2009 // Franchising.com // Rob Goggins, vice president of franchise development for Great Clips, Inc., announced the Grand Opening of the company's newest franchised salon in the Arboretum Shopping Center, in Charlotte, North Carolina.

"Our manager-run salon is conveniently located at Providence Road and Highway 51 inside I-485 southeast of downtown Charlotte," said Goggins. "The shopping center is home to 90 specialty shops, salons and restaurants, and is anchored by Harris Teeter, Wal-Mart, and of course, 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.
