MY SALON Suite Accelerates Expansion with Another Six-Unit Acquisition, Demonstrating Commitment to Strategic Growth

2023-10-25T22:07:37-04:00October 25th, 2023|Tags: , , , |

As the brand surpasses 300 locations, salon suite franchise acquires six Cirque Salon Studios

CARROLLTON, Texas — MY SALON Suite, a salon suite franchise that focuses on providing stylists and beauticians a personal space to build their business and the beauty industry’s future, announced today its acquisition of six Cirque Salon Studios in Charleston, South Carolina, continuing its aggressive new growth strategy as the brand surpasses 300 locations.

MY SALON Suite’s strategic purchase of the six Cirque Salon Studio Charleston locations marks the second major acquisition in less than two months for the brand following the recent acquisition of six salons in Reno, Nevada.

Founded in Charleston in 2008, Cirque Salon Studios is a salon suite franchise with locations across South CarolinaVirginia and Florida. The Charleston salons, which will rebrand as corporate MY SALON Suite locations, join two existing brand locations in the area to bring the MY SALON Suite footprint in the market to eight salons.

“MY SALON Suite’s acquisition of Cirque Salon Studio’s Charleston locations represents a significant opportunity for the advancement of our salons, both for our beauty professionals and their loyal customers,” said David Manzi, founder of Cirque Salon Studios. “Cirque Salon Studios has grown tremendously since our inception, and entrusting the future of these six locations to MY SALON Suite aligns perfectly with the salons’ continued development. I’m thrilled the MY SALON Suite team will implement its exceptional resources and expansive network to continue the success of the Charleston-area locations.”

As the brand surpasses 300 locations, MY SALON Suite is continuing an aggressive growth strategy with the acquisitions of 12 independent salons so far this year. In addition, the brand is on pace for a record year of franchise development with multi-unit agreements and conversions of independent salons. Through targeting acquisitions in strategic corporate markets and franchisee conversions, MY SALON Suite will continue its mission to dominate the salon industry and accelerate the growth of its footprint across the country.

“MY SALON Suite has seen tremendous franchise growth throughout 2023, and expanding our corporate presence is the logical next step in facilitating continued development,” said Mark Jameson, chief development officer of MY SALON Suite parent company, Propelled Brands. “The addition of these outstanding salons to our portfolio underscores the strength of our network and resources. Continued acquisitions and conversions will be instrumental for both franchise and corporate locations, with corporate development allowing us to build a blueprint of the process for franchisees to capitalize on, ultimately amplifying our growth potential.”

The initial investment for a MY SALON Suite franchise is approximately $823,344 – $2,241,800, including a $50,000 franchise fee. Investment is typically lower for independent salon suite operators wishing to convert and receive the brand benefits. Ideal candidates have a net worth of $1.5 million, of which $500K is liquid. Additionally, MY SALON Suite offers a special incentive for veterans and first responders, including paramedics, emergency medical technicians, police officers, sheriffs and firefighters, which includes a 50% reduction on the franchise fee – a savings of $25,000.

City Wide Facility Solutions Earns Spot on Franchise Times Top 400 List for 12th Consecutive Year

2023-10-24T15:15:12-04:00October 24th, 2023|Tags: , , , , |

Leading Facilities Management Franchise Ranked On Prestigious List of the 400 Largest Franchise Brands

LENEXA, Kan. — City Wide Facility Solutions announced today it has once again been named in the top half of the annual Franchise Times’ Top 400 list.

Over the past 12 months, City Wide broke internal goals and historical records for total signed franchise agreements. During the same period, there have been 10 new locations that have signed throughout North America, including City Wide’s fourth location in Canada. This impressive growth brings the total number of signed locations to 98, as City Wide is on track to hit nearly $700 million in revenue.

“It has certainly been a record-breaking year all around for us — we’ve seen a tremendous amount of growth in our sales and average unit volume, as well as in the locations we have been able to open across the country,” said Jeff Oddo, CEO and owner of City Wide Facility Solutions and City Wide Franchise. “To me, this growth and this recognition from Franchise Times is continued proof of the culture we have so thoughtfully built within our franchise system. Our focus will remain the same through the end of this year and into next — making a positive impact on our communities and peoples’ lives.”

City Wide Facility Solutions’ Mission is to create a Ripple Effect by positively impacting the people and communities it serves. This was evident earlier this year at City Wide’s Annual Convention, where the franchise system raised more than $625,000 for a local nonprofit. Even more, City Wide’s Indianapolis franchise raised $100,000 for the Alzheimer’s Association.

The collection of systemwide sales data also provides useful insight into the franchise industry’s performance as the shakeout continues following the COVID-19 pandemic. Out of the 10 major franchise categories analyzed, just two—Health & Medical and Real Estate—saw an overall decline in sales. The personal services, automotive, and cleaning franchise industries all saw percentage sales growth in the double digits last year.

City Wide Facility Solutions has consistently evolved and adapted to become “The First Choice” for its clients, employees, franchise owners, independent contractors, and vendors. Managing more than 20 services for its clients, City Wide offers one point of contact and provides professional communication and project management through every stage of the experience. This allows for clients to focus on running their business while uplifting smaller, independent and locally owned companies to execute services.
