Sport Clips and the Franchise Times Top 500
The awards keep coming. Sport Clips recently ranked atop The Franchise Times Top 500, marking another year of strong, continued growth. The Franchise Times Top 500 is an exclusive annual ranking of the 500 largest U.S.-based franchise systems. Over the course of five months, The Franchise Times researches and investigates each franchise’s operating systems, resulting in one of the most credible and objective franchise rankings out there. Now, The Franchise Times Top 500 is considered the gold standard for aspiring entrepreneurs researching which franchise systems are best bet investments.

Rising to the top is Sport Clips, the premiere haircut salon for men and boys. Sport Clips placed No. 128 on The Franchise Times Top 500, up 11 spots from last year!

“We are honored to be recognized by The Franchise Times as one of the top performing franchise systems in the U.S.,” says Edward Logan, CEO of Sport Clips. “We’ve proven that we’re not only recession-resistant, but we’re also pandemic-resistant. This is a very stable business with steady cash flow and straightforward business model. Now is a great time to invest in Sport Clips, because as we head into 2023, we’re excited about the great real estate opportunities that exist right now, as well as the disruption of client behavior. As people change their buying behavior and their habits, the brands that go out and capture those clients are going to win an outsize market share. That’s going to be us because that’s how we’re thinking.”
