How to Grow a Lifestyle Brand into a Franchise Empire with Paul O'Brien of Floyd’s Barbershop
Episode 98: On this episode of Pursuit of Profit, Cliff talks with Paul O'Brien, one of three founding brothers of the well known franchise, Floyd's 99 Barbershop. This successful franchise has broken away from assembly line cuts of discount chains and high-end salons to create something in between - expert cuts and a vibe that feels more like a rock concert than a haircut. With over 150 stores nationwide and a nearly $1M in revenue from corporate stores, Floyd's is proving that when you focus on culture, retaining employees and consistency - the numbers take care of themselves.
