Passionate Duo Builds Their Dream Team
With their insurance and mechanical engineering backgrounds, Noah Dorson and Zim Harry are not the average barbershop entrepreneurs. Their unique skills and personalities make them ideal franchise owners for Bazooka Charlie’s Barber Co.
As an emerging brand, Bazooka Charlie’s is transforming the industry through its unique subscription model, comfortable but energetic atmosphere and its passionate stylists. With six locations across the U.S., and more planned for the upcoming year, this all-American brand is poised to rise to the top.
“We love the energy and creativity of barbers and stylists! The joy and the passion that comes with running a barbershop is addictive,” Harry said. “Our experience in the industry is limited, which makes us ideal franchise owners, open to almost any idea.”
As longtime customers of Bazooka Charlie’s Barber Co., the duo admired the fun atmosphere and the customer-focused business model. When an opportunity arose to open their own location, they knew they couldn’t pass it up.
“We knew right away that owning and operating a Bazooka Charlie’s Barber Co. franchise would be a great start in small business entrepreneurship,” Dorson said. “The branding, style and success of the company in such a short amount of time made the opportunity irresistible.”
Harry and Dorson have only been franchisees for a few months, but they’ve been able to assemble a rock star team at their Lantana, Texas, location, and are eager to open more locations in the coming years.
“Each person that helps drive our shop offers so much, and we could not be more proud of their diligence and desire to excel,” said Harry. “We have already begun to see our staff grow and take on professional power that they never imagined.”
While this venture has been a learning experience for the entrepreneurs, they’ve had complete support from Founder Justin Goehring and the rest of the corporate team.
“We could not have accomplished so much so quickly without Justin Goehring, Brandy Anderson and the amazing Rhoda Goehring guiding us through the process,” Dorson said.
“Relationships are your greatest currency, and we’re blessed to have such consistent and knowledgeable partners in this journey.”
