Minnesota-based franchise concept <a href="http://www.greatclipsfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=memphis-business-journal-great-national-retailer-prepares-to-enter-memphis-market-with-up-to-40-stores-12431" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Great Clips</a> is eyeing Memphis for rapid development. It&#39;s uncommon for the 4,200 unit brand to have an&nbsp;untapped major metro market, and because of this, they are looking to bring as many as 40 to the area.

&quot;The best-case scenario is we open all those [40] salons real quick,&quot; president of <a href="https://greatclips.1851franchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=memphis-business-journal-great-national-retailer-prepares-to-enter-memphis-market-with-up-to-40-stores-12431" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Great Clips</a> Steve Hockett said in an interview with the Memphis Business Journal. &quot;People don&#39;t drive 30 or 40 miles to go to a Great Clips, [so] having five or six in Memphis is not what we want. We want to be all over the Memphis market.&quot;

According to Hockett, the brand traditionally sees five to seven locations open per year in a new market and has little concern for existing competitors like Supercuts and Fantastic Sams.

&quot;Memphis has people who get their hair cut. There are people in Memphis who like brands. There are people in Memphis who value their time,&quot; Hockett said to reporter&nbsp;Jacob Steimer. &quot;We do well in markets similar to Memphis.&quot;

Existing Great Clips franchisee Kristy Beliew&nbsp;is helping to spark Memphis development by signing a three-store contract. The Arkansas resident opened the first locations in Jonesboro and is eager to mimic prior success raising brand awareness in a new market.

&quot;Getting people through the door to try us out is the main focus,&quot; she said. &quot;[I plan on doing that by] being involved in the community.&quot;
