She said the Canadian expansion would initially focus on Calgary, Toronto and Ottawa before the company sets its sights further afield with an ultimate ambition for 200 salons in the country.Ms Manning said Canada was “used to franchised brands” and had synergies with Australia, with a similar franchising culture and regulations.
With Calgary located close to the US border, Ms Manning said the company has also received franchise enquiries from “across the border” but said that the US was a very different market, although she didn’t rule out a future expansion there.Amber Manning, CEO of Just Cuts said that a US expansion was “not on the radar but I would never say never”.
