V’s Barbershop Franchise Expansion Continues—Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Locations Open in Arizona and California

Arizona-based franchise, V’s Barbershop, continues rapid expansion with opening of sixth, seventh and eighth locations in Foothill Ranch, CA, Chandler, AZ and San Clemente, CA respectively—nostalgic environment and classic service offerings appeal to broad demographics

Phoenix, AZ – May 6, 2008 – V’s Barbershop® announces the grand opening of its sixth, seventh and eighth upscale barbershop locations in Foothill Ranch, CA, Chandler, AZ and San Clemente, CA.  From the authentic, old fashioned barber chairs to the straight-edge shaves, V’s Barbershop continues to win clients’ hearts with its nostalgia and service quality.  The company continues to grow by doing what it does best—namely, resurrecting the sights, sounds, and smells of the barbershop of days gone by and offering traditional barbershop services to its clients. This combination of authenticity, updated service practices and products of the best quality have made V’s the leader in the resurgence of the upscale barbershop experience.

V’s Barbershop founder and CEO Jim Valenzuela remarks, “The concept has been driven by my memories of going to the barbershop with my dad. The experience left an indelible mark on me, and I’ve seen a generation of males that has missed this special rite of passage by going to beauty salons or quick-cut establishments. The barbershop is unique in its ability to create a bond among men and to be an equalizer where doctor and plumber alike come together to discuss everything from sports and politics to current events. V’s has restored this experience with equal parts of nostalgia, quality and ambiance.”

With its traditional décor and upscale amenities, that’s what V’s is all about—bringing back the barbershop experience.  Whether it’s the sports memorabilia on the walls, a patron’s personal relationship with his barber, or a father sharing the experience with his son, V’s Barbershop tends to resonate with people on an emotional level.  Valenzuela added, “It’s far more than just a haircut.  It’s a guy thing®.” 

Located at 41 Auto Centre Drive in Foothill Ranch, CA; in the Promenade at Fulton Ranch at 4991 South Alma School Road in Chandler, AZ; and in Talega Village Center at 802 Avenida Talega in San Clemente, CA; these new locations of V’s Barbershop are soon to be followed by several others, both inside and outside the state of Arizona.  With another V’s Barbershop currently under development in Arizona and with significant interest building in the western states, the V’s Barbershop concept is showing its appeal to potential franchisees and investors who desire an upscale, yet simple business that provides an essential service.
