Sport Clips, the nation’s leader in men’s and boy’s hair care, named Washington and Oregon Area Developers Phil and Laurie Brown Sport Clips Area Developers of the Year. The award was announced at the franchise’s annual huddle on March 8, 2011 which recognizes achievements among the more than 750 Sport Clips locations throughout the country.

Phil and Laurie Brown have served as Northwest area developers for the past five years. They currently oversee the operation of 20 stores in Washington and Oregon with four more stores scheduled to open in Washington and Oregon in the next few months.

“Laurie and I are honored to be named Area Developers of the Year because we believe so strongly in the Sport Clips concept and business model,” said Sports Clips NW Area Developer Phil Brown. “We take great pride in the Northwest stores and are always advising in the hiring of dedicated managers, honing the skills of talented stylists and growing their clientele. Our success is due to the hard work and dedication of every manger, stylist and team leader in our area.”
