Case Study: Great Clips achieves 95% faster site assessments, lower costs, and faster salon openings with Alteryx

Alteryx Helps Great Clips Drive Growth Strategy with Site Selection Application Reducing Costs, Speeding New Salon Openings, and Improving Franchisee Relationships

Great Clips, the world’s largest salon brand with more than 3,000 salons and nearly 30,000 stylists, needed to speed up and lower the cost of its franchise site-selection process to support aggressive growth. The manual workflow averaged about two hours per site, produced a backlog of hundreds of submissions, consumed analyst resources, and led franchisees to seek costly third‑party reviews.

Using an Alteryx-built site-selection application, Great Clips reduced assessment time to five minutes (a 95% reduction), enabling real estate managers to evaluate three times as many sites, eliminate the backlog, and cut costs. The app automates data integration and mapping, evaluates drivetime, demographics and revenue impact, and produces transparent reports—resulting in faster openings, higher site-capture rates, and better-targeted franchise growth.
