Supercuts set to launch new franchise model

Leading high street salon brand, Supercuts, is set to launch a new franchise model in the UK, as it prepares for a surge in business growth. The brand, owned by Regis UK, is set to roll out the franchise programme this summer, following the success of a similar model in the US. Regis managing director, Jackie Lang told HJ that the company aimed to have 200 franchise outlets open in the UK within five years, many of them in major supermarkets across the country which fitted with the brand’s convenience with quality ethos. Franchise outlets were a particularly attractive option for the group, she said, as stats from the U.S, showed they were generally 20% more profitable than company owned salons. “The introduction of the Supercuts franchise model in the UK marks an exciting prospect for anyone who might be considering a new business venture,” said Jackie. “We are seeking potential franchisees who have strong management and leadership skills, good business and financial acumen, as well as a desire to succeed and make a positive impact within their community. “By expanding our franchising operations to Supercuts in the UK we hope to demonstrate Regis UK’s commitment to being the leading owner and operator of hair and beauty salons. We’re looking forward to providing new franchisees with our support in planning, controlling, increasing sales and implementing further growth for the future.”
