No. 1 Full-Service Salon Brand, Industry Leader Signs Multi-Unit Development Deal in Alaska
Fantastic Sams is continuing to enter new territories to offer high quality services at affordable prices. Well-positioned with a recession-resistant business model , Fantastic Sams has just signed a multi-unit deal in Alaska, which will be the first time in the brand’s 35-plus year history that it will have a salon in the market.
“We are very excited about our new partnership with Alaska entrepreneur, Lyn Dalsfoist, and our strong new development plans in the region,” said Chief Executive Officer of Fantastic Sams, Scott Colabuono. “We see Alaska as a tremendous opportunity for expansion with Anchorage our launching pad. Anchorage, with nearly 50 percent of the state’s population, will be first to enjoy the Fantastic Sams quality, service and professional salon only hair care products. Later, we will open in surrounding cities as new franchisees drive salon development.”
Leading Fantastic Sams’ first entrance into the Alaska market is 30 year Anchorage resident, Lyn Dalsfoist, who prior to joining with Fantastic Sams was a dental hygienist for nearly 29 years. After completing her MBA three years ago, Dalsfoist has been exploring business ownership and felt that a full service salon with an affordable price level to the guest would be in high demand in Anchorage. Dalsfoist has signed a multi-unit development agreement and will be opening her first Fantastic Sams salon in Anchorage in the fall of 2011 with two additional openings over the next two to three years.
“I could not be more excited to open my first business and for this new partnership with the Fantastic Sams brand,” said Dalfoist, Fantastic Sams’ multi-unit Alaska franchisee. “As a full-service salon, we will be able to offer our guests a wide range of services and products from coloring to waxing. Fulfilling the demand for high quality salon services while still providing an affordable price point will be our focus. Currently, there are no salons in Anchorage that can beat the price and the services that Fantastic Sams provides to its customers.”
Fantastic Sams Hair Salons, a 1,200+-unit full-service hair care and professional hair salon franchise, has not only continued to grab a share of the $60 billion hair care industry, but has advanced its footprint forward by furthering its expansion nationwide, opening 34 locations in 2010 and on pace to open over 40 locations in 2011.
“Lyn is exactly the type of driven and passionate franchisee we look for to join the Fantastic Sams system,” said Colabuono. “She is business savvy, intelligent, knows the Anchorage marketplace and understands what it takes to run a salon successfully.”
