GEORGETOWN, Texas (Sept. 12, 2014)
Sport Clips Haircuts, the nation’s leading men’s and boys’ hair care provider, has been named one of the top two “Best for Vets: Franchises” in the 2014-2015 Military Times rankings.
“As a U.S. Air Force veteran, I’m proud that many of our franchised stores are owned by veterans of our armed services,” says Founder and CEO Gordon Logan. “For more than two decades, we’ve been committed to supporting the nation’s military and our veterans. Similar to the military, Sports Clips has a strong set of core values, outstanding training and support, and we offer franchise investment discounts to military through the International Franchise Association’s VetFran program.”
Military Times cites that it focused on financial incentives, brand performance and policies that cater to veterans and reservists when conducting and scoring the “Best for Vets: Franchises” survey, which includes a 110-question analysis of a franchise’s efforts to provide veterans an environment for success.
The complete list of rankings can be found in Military Times EDGE magazine and online at MilitaryTimes.com.
As a leader in the franchise industry, Sport Clips has more than 1,250 stores in 48 U.S. states and Canada. Sport Clips is known for its support of the military through its annual Help A Hero program in partnership with the VFW; Ageless Aviation Dreams providing biplane rides to WWII Veterans, many of whom are in assisted living residences; Honor Flights taking WWII Veterans to Washington, D.C. to visit the WWII and other memorials; R.O.C.K. and the Mustang Heritage Foundation providing equine therapy for Veterans with service-related stress symptoms; the Ft. Hood USO support center for soldiers and their families; the Patriot Foundation providing support to Special Forces families at Ft. Bragg who have lost soldiers in combat, and many other local veterans efforts. Sport Clips is also an active member of the International Franchise Association’s VetFran and Operation Enduring Opportunity programs which have engaged over 150,000 veterans in franchising the past few years.
