When Jason and Danielle Young committed to opening a Sport Clips Haircuts franchise they did not expect to do it in Apopka. "We were looking at several locations," according to Danielle Young. "We live in Winter Springs, but have many friends in Apopka. And they all brag about living in Apopka. When the Apopka space came available we took it. And we are glad we did."
The Apopka Sport Clips Haircuts opened in October of 2015, but the Apopka Area Chamber of Commerce ribbon cutting happened today.
Jason Young is a financial planner with Charles Schawb. Danielle is a language arts teacher in Seminole County after spending 11 years teaching in Orange County. They now have nine employees at the Apopka Sport Clips Haircuts, which is located in the Wekiva Riverwalk plaza at 2107 E Semoran Blvd Apopka, Florida 32703 between Something Fishy and Menchies Frozen Yogurt.
Sport Clips Haircuts, the nation’s leading men’s and boys’ hair care provider, is ranked by Forbes as a top 10 “Best Franchise to Buy” for the third consecutive year. The June issue features the third annual “best” and “worst” franchises in America rankings separated into investment level categories.
Based on research conducted by FRANdata, a franchise-focused research and advisory firm, Forbes ranked Sport Clips number six in the $150K-$500K investment category, a jump up from last year’s seventh place ranking.
“We recognize careful consideration goes into making a franchise investment, and the success of a brand should be top of mind in that decision,” says Gordon Logan, founder and CEO. “With more 1,500 stores open, and only five store closings since 2010, Sport Clips is proud to be recognized again by Forbes as a top ‘Franchise to Buy.’ We are committed to providing the highest level of support and service to the franchisees who invest in our brand and the consistently growing number of clients who make Sport Clips their hair care provider of choice.”
