Former NFL Player Joins Blo Blow Dry Bar with Single Unit Agreement, Marks Entrance into Wisconsin

North America's Leading Blow Dry Bar Franchise Inks Momentous Deal to Further Extend Midwest Footprint

GREEN BAY, Wis., March 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Blo Blow Dry Bar, North America's original blow dry bar and blow dry bar franchise, has announced a signed agreement that signifies its entrance into Wisconsin. As the brand looks to continue to make significant development strides, Blo Blow Dry Bar partnered with a former professional athlete to expand in the Midwest. Site selection for the state's first location is currently underway in the Green Bay metropolitan area.

At the helm in bringing Blo Blow Dry Bar to Wisconsin is Jarrett Bush, a former NFL player who spent nine years with the Green Bay Packers and is a 2011 Super Bowl champion. After his time in the NFL, Bush spent the next year playing professional Canadian football before retiring. While living in Chicago a few years ago, he walked past a blow dry bar and saw a woman walk out after her appointment who was beaming with confidence. As a father and fiancée, this triggered an idea to embark on an entrepreneurial journey to open his own blow dry bar.
Bush moved back to Green Bay and saw an opportunity to bring a quality blow dry bar concept to the area.

"Football has been a huge part of my life, and I'm grateful it gave me the pedestal to catapult into an opportunity where I can impact the lives of others," said Bush. "Being that this is my first business venture, I wanted a supportive team with a proven business model that was ingrained in the community – and that is Blo Blow Dry Bar. I am excited that this new endeavor allows me to bring health, beauty and diversity together, and I hope to strengthen this combination even further through my bar."

Being a longtime resident of Green Bay, Bush has identified the need for Blo Blow Dry Bar's services in the market and as a father, has seen that diversity is a barrier within the industry in general. He currently experiences limitations in taking his daughters to various salons which is why he plans to specifically cater to culturally-diverse demographics with his bar. Bush also plans for his bar to be an asset to all community members, knowing Blo Blow Dry Bar is for people in all walks of life.

"As we set ourselves up for continuous growth, franchise partners like Jarrett who believe so strongly in our mission will be key to our success," said Vanessa Yakobson, CEO of Blo Blow Dry Bar. "Wisconsin, and the Midwest in general, is a prime target of growth and an opportunity to provide more people with catwalk-quality blow outs. The year is starting out on a strong trajectory and I look forward to further solidifying our position as an industry-leading brand."

With a favorable real estate landscape and vast opportunity for market growth, company executives are actively seeking franchisees to continue to expand in key markets across the country.
