Sport Clips Canada is more than just a haircut business—it’s a recession-resistant, tariff-proof franchise opportunity that blends a proven business model with strong Canadian values. Since opening our first store in Burlington, Ontario, in 2013, Sport Clips Canada expanded rapidly, offering entrepreneurs a chance to own a high-demand, service-based business in an industry that thrives in any economy.
With over a decade of success in Canada, Sport Clips continues to grow, helping franchisees build profitable businesses while delivering their signature MVP Haircut Experience to communities nationwide.
Owned and Operated
Sport Clips Canada is proudly Canadian-owned and operated, dedicated to providing a premium men’s grooming experience while offering entrepreneurs a proven franchise model designed for success in the Canadian market. Since the opening of our first store in Burlington, Ontario, in 2013, we have grown rapidly, expanding our signature MVP Haircut Experience to communities across Canada.
Our franchise system is specifically designed to thrive in the Canadian market, considering our unique economic conditions, tax structures, and tariffs. This localized approach ensures dedicated Canadian based support for our franchisees and positions us as a strong and stable investment in the men’s grooming industry.
Since opening our first Canadian store in 2013, Sport Clips Canada has built a nationwide presence, expanding into multiple provinces and markets. Our franchisees benefit from a simple-to-run, manager-style business model, with strong corporate backing and an industry-leading training program.
With a high continuity rate and sustainable growth, Sport Clips Canada is not just another franchise—it’s a long-term business opportunity designed for stability and profitability.
One of the ways a franchise’s quality is defined is its continuity rate. Continuity rates are the rate at which a franchised location will close in relation to how many were opened in a given time period. A high continuity rate means a higher chance of success, equaling more stability, confidence, and freedom. Franchising already offers a pretty high rate of success for businesses, but Sport Clips offers continuity at a whole different level.
Over the last 5 years, Sport Clips has maintained a 95.4% continuity rate.
That number is unheard of in any franchise industry. Our continuity rate means more than 95% of Sport Clips opened in the last 5 years stayed open and remained successful. In fact, of our 1,800+ locations, only 6 have closed in the last few years—and two of them were the result of an anchor closing without any relocation opportunities. Our continuity rate is why so many of our franchisees put their trust in our systems and culture.
At Sport Clips Canada, we believe in giving back. Our franchisees actively support local communities and charities, including:
Sport Clips was founded in 1993 by Gordon Logan, who recognized that men and boys needed a comfortable, sports-themed place for haircuts. The first Sport Clips opened in Austin, Texas, and quickly grew across the U.S., becoming a top-ranked franchise opportunity recognized by Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine.
In 2012, Sport Clips expanded internationally, launching in Canada with the help of Canadian franchise industry leaders. Today, with over 1,800 stores across North America, Sport Clips continues to grow, and Canada remains a key market for expansion.

We believe in what we do, and our values drive everything our franchise accomplishes—from Gordon Logan’s personal vision to the daily service provided by our newest franchisees. Ever since 1993, our vision and our mission has remained the same—allowing our franchise to achieve incredible things.

Success Stories
What I like about Sport Clips, I don't have to worry about seasonality, I don't have to worry about cost of goods going up and down and being unpredictable, I can pretty much bank on the same type of revenue in January as I can in May as I can in July.
We are working for ourselves. I was able to leave the auto industry at the end of 2014 and it was one of the happiest moves I ever made.
In my own personal experience, the tipping point for me was attending Discovery Day and meeting the corporate team. It was the only Discovery Day that I went to that didn’t demand a check before I left. Sport Clips said, 'Go home, talk about it, think about it.' The values of treating others the way they want to be treated is the corporate culture, it’s not just on their business card – it’s the way it is.
One of the things that has been the biggest benefit to me personally was the flexibility of my lifestyle.
After retiring from the corporate world, I wanted to continue to be engaged in the business world, but wanted something that matched my desire for a more balanced lifestyle. I saw that Sport Clips was entering Canada and believed that the concept would do well here. I am still very grateful for the outsized level of support we received, and continue to receive, in supporting the success of our Canadian stores.
One of our expectations when we bought into Sport Clips was that we wanted to own a business, but didn’t want to be in it every day. Sport Clips allows us to spend a few hours in our three stores per week. It gives us the freedom to do what we want to do, when we want to do it.
The startup costs with Sport Clips were about half of the others I was looking at in the franchise world. There wasn’t a lot of heavy expense in the equipment startup and the overhead and inventory costs were relatively low. Those were the things that were really encouraging to me.
