A leading high-street salon brand has marked the official launch of its first franchise salon this summer.
Supercuts, which is owned by Regis UK, introduced a new franchise model to the UK last year, following the success of a similar model in the US.
Just one year on from the launch, the popular brand has announced that its first franchise site has begun operating in Cobham, Surrey.
The franchise acquisition took place last month, marking a milestone for the brand as the first independent franchisee to take ownership of an existing site. The Cobham salon was previously trading as a corporate Supercuts, situated in a prime location within Sainsbury’s supermarket on Bridge Way.
New franchisees, Dmitry & Elena Novoselova from London were attracted to the franchise programme, as it provided a dedicated and proven business model with the opportunity to benefit from a high-demand, high-repeat cash business.
Dmitry said: “We have always been interested in the hair and beauty industry and the Supercuts franchise model offered the perfect opportunity to invest in a business with a reputable and established brand, as well as providing us with full support on key applications including business consultation, training, marketing and recruitment.
given the chance to take ownership of a successful, profitable business venture, with scope for future growth and expansion. We intend on opening our second salon in Ilford by the end of the year.”
Supercuts Cobham provides a full range of hair services and treatments at affordable prices, and with no appointment necessary it is set to continue to thrive as a convenient and cost-effective solution for local residents.
Jackie Lang, managing director of Regis UK, said: “We are excited to announce the official launch of our first franchise operated salon in the UK. We’ve had a fantastic response to the programme since it was introduced last summer and with a number of franchise salons set to open over the next six months, we expect to see a continued increase in business growth and further opportunities for potential investors.”
