RENO , Nev. (February 8, 2005) - Fantastic Sams®, a world-wide chain of hair salons known for high-quality service and styles, announces franchise availabilities for northern Nevada and  northern California for entrepreneurs. Sergio Nevel, president of Gold Country Salons (GCS), LLC, is the Fantastic Sams regional owner and director. GCS plans to open 60 to 100 new individually owned locations within the region.
"The trends are pointing toward more business ownership," Nevel said. "Franchises offer a proven model that works and an entry point for potential owners to become an owner without the learning curve that traditionally associated with starting a business from scratch. Fantastic Sams offers that proven success model and is a business that can be owned and operated without any experience in the hair care industry. It's more about business development than anything else."
Fantastic Sams is a 30-year-old company with more than 1,350 locations that has been re-energized by a new management team of individuals with a strong vision, solid capitalization and the energy to bring about the long term strategy for the successful future of the company.
The hair care industry is the third largest franchising industry, just behind fast food and hotel/motel franchises. The middle market of full-service hair care is fragmented with no clear dominant players. Says Nevel, "Fantastic Sams is perfectly positioned to serve this market. A Fantastic Sams franchise is ideal for individuals who have always considered owning their own business, as well as those seeking to expand their current portfolio of investments."
Highlights of the Fantastic Sams franchise include:
- Franchisees manage the business, not the hair care process, allowing owners the option to maintain current employment while operating the business.
- The regional office offers the business and marketing support for local franchises, providing guidance, training and materials.
- The franchise has low royalties with a flat weekly fee, so no auditing is necessary. Fantastic Sams offers a low initial out-of-pocket franchise fee with financial assistance available through third parties.
- Real estate location and negotiation assistance is provided for the franchisee.
- The regional office also provides staffing assistance, including recruitment and retention strategies.
