NATICK,
MASS. (August 2009) – Snip-its (www.snipits.com),
the fastest growing franchise of children’s hair salons
in the U.S., announced today that KRON-TV 4, San Francisco’s
NBC affiliate, will broadcast monthly “Best of The Bay”
segments focusing on Snip-its’ Palo Alto, Calif. location.
These broadcasts will reach over two million potential Northern
California customers in eleven surrounding counties.
“The
Bay Area and its surrounding communities is one of the most culturally
rich and diverse areas in the country,” said Christine Mudd,
director of franchise development, Snip-its. “We have gotten
a great response from the area, with the opening of our Palo Alto
store. We are thrilled to be featured on “Best of The Bay”
segments focusing on our new location, which will help us reach
prospective franchisees and customers alike.”
The
monthly television segments are set to focus on Snip-its as both
a thriving recession-proof business in the local economy as well
