Rob Goggins, vice president of franchise development for Great Clips, Inc., announced the Grand Opening of the company’s newest franchised salon in the Pekin Wal-Mart Shopping Center, in Pekin, Illinois.

“Our manager-run salon is conveniently located in the Peoria DMA just off State Road 9 in Pekin on the eastern bank of the Illinois River,” said Goggins. “This retail shopping center is anchored by a Wal-Mart Supercenter and, of course, our Great Clips salon.” 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 our business model is recession resistant. We just recorded our 20th consecutive month of same-store-sales growth.”
