Franchising is all about location, location, location – and that’s why we spend an enormous amount of time searching the country to find the right real estate for a Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop. With over 50+ years of experience in hair care and real estate. The first question we ask ourselves when selecting a location is “would we invest in this location with our own money? Can the franchisee make money?”. If the answer is yes, then we start the process.
At Tommy Gun’s Original Barbershop, we focus on selecting prime locations for optimal visibility and potential. Through thorough research by our internal Franchise and Leasing departments and partnerships with National Commercial Real Estate brokers knowledgeable about local market intricacies, we aim to pinpoint the best locations. Utilizing advanced tools and analytics, our brokers assess populations, demographics, and trade areas, enhancing our understanding of each market to identify the ideal location with precision.
Tommy Gun's location selection maximizes franchise success and Guest satisfaction by prioritizing key factors such as accessibility, visibility, and tenant synergy. Our spaces, designed to enhance the customer experience and operational efficiency, strengthen our market position and drive consistent traffic, leveraging a unique business model to benefit both franchisees and patrons.
What we look for:
- Parking Availability: Prioritizing ease of access for our Guests to ensure a seamless experience from the moment they arrive.
- Visibility: Choosing locations that offer high visibility to attract a steady flow of walk-in Guests.
- Tenant Mix: Carefully considering the blend of surrounding businesses to complement our brand and attract our target demographic.
- Traffic Patterns: Evaluating both foot and vehicle traffic to select locations with high potential for customer engagement.
- Space Requirements: Opting for spaces ranging from 800 to 1,500 square feet to accommodate comfortable seating, a comprehensive retail area, and ample service space.
- Target Demographic: Focusing on locations that attract a strong male clientele with steady weekly traffic, aligning with our brand's core customer base.
The founders and Managing Partners of Tommy Gun's have always prioritized opening the best locations to ensure our franchise owners are profitable and financially healthy, rather than merely increasing the number of barbershops. We carefully select the right location, franchisee, and rent terms, emphasizing the importance of choosing the right franchisor. With our proven track record, we are confident in our ability to achieve this.
