What This Means (2025 FDD)
According to My Salon Suite's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, at the start of 2022, there were 31 company-owned and affiliated outlets. This number reflects the total number of company-operated locations or those affiliated with the company at the beginning of that year.
For a prospective franchisee, this indicates the scale of corporate involvement in the My Salon Suite system. A higher number of company-owned or affiliated outlets can suggest a greater degree of control and standardization, as well as direct insight into operational best practices. It also demonstrates My Salon Suite's direct investment in the brand.
However, it is important to note that the number of company-owned outlets is relatively small compared to the total number of franchise outlets. As of the start of 2022, there were 193 franchise outlets. This may suggest that My Salon Suite's growth strategy relies more heavily on franchising than on corporate expansion. A prospective franchisee may want to inquire about the support and resources available to franchisees compared to company-owned locations to ensure they receive adequate assistance.
