GROOM was created by coincidence.<\/p>\n<p>In 2005, I was working in sales within the hairdressing industry and represented a mens product line called American Crew. I strongly believed in the product, even though the market wasnt quite ready for it yet.<\/p>\n<p>One day in downtown Helsinki I noticed a sign in the window of an old barbershop saying the shops equipment was for sale. Inside were a couple of Belmont barber chairs that immediately caught my attention. I called the seller and asked if I could buy just one chair. However, the seller wanted to sell everything at once and asked me to make an offer for the entire equipment.<\/p>\n<p>I deliberately made a very small offer so I could quietly get out of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>To my surprise, the offer was accepted.<\/p>\n<p>Suddenly I owned the equipment of a barbershop. Since cancelling the deal was not really an option, we decided to do the only sensible thing: open a barbershop.<\/p>\n<p>That is how GROOM was born, founded by Sami and Sanna. Over the years it has grown into a Finnish family business and a well-known mens barbershop chain. The concept has been refined, the brand has strengthened, and customers visit our shops every day.<\/p>\n<p>Now we are looking for an entrepreneur to open a new GROOM barbershop.<\/p>\n<p>This is an opportunity to build your own business around a ready and proven concept. You will have the support of a well-known Finnish brand, clear operating models, training, and ongoing support from the chain.<br \/>\nYou wont be starting alone.<\/p>\n<p>Many professionals at some point think about what it would be like to run their own business, build their own customer base, and see the results of their work directly in everyday life. GROOM offers the opportunity to take that step as part of a Finnish chain with a concept that has already been proven in practice.<\/p>\n<p>The entrepreneur we are looking for is a trained barber or hairdresser with a few years of industry experience. Your professional skills are already solid, the work in the chair runs smoothly, and perhaps the idea of owning your own shop has crossed your mind.<br \/>\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"te-palvelut-info\">\n<div class=\"te-palvelut-row\"><span class=\"te-palvelut-hdr\">Employment relationship:<\/span><span class=\"te-palvelut-text\">Entrepreneurship <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"te-palvelut-row\"><span class=\"te-palvelut-hdr\">Work start date:<\/span><span class=\"te-palvelut-text\">According to agreement <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"te-palvelut-row\"><span class=\"te-palvelut-hdr\">Wage:<\/span><span class=\"te-palvelut-text\">Other <\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"te-palvelut-row\"><span class=\"te-palvelut-hdr\">Number of positions:<\/span><span class=\"te-palvelut-text\">1<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"te-palvelut-row\"><span class=\"te-palvelut-hdr\">Notes for applying:<\/span><span class=\"te-palvelut-text\">For more information about franchise entrepreneurship and the GROOM concept, please visit www.franchisetori.fi<br \/>\n or contact us by email at rekry@franchisetori.fi<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"te-palvelut-source\">Source: Job Market Finland\/Ty\u00f6markkinatori<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"_company_tagline":"","_company_website":"","_company_twitter":"","_company_video":"","_filled":0,"_featured":0,"_remote_position":0,"_job_salary":"","_job_salary_currency":"","_job_salary_unit":""},"job_listing_region":[],"job-categories":[1524],"job-types":[1100],"job_listing_tag":[1154],"class_list":{"0":"post-3733566","1":"job_listing","2":"type-job_listing","3":"status-publish","4":"hentry","6":"job_listing_type-contract","7":"job_listing_tag-beauty-care-well-being-sports-industry","10":"job_listing_company-franchisetori","11":"job_source-tyomarkkinatori","12":"worktime-full-time","14":"job-type-contract"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kuopio \u2013 We Are Looking for an Entrepreneur to Open a New GROOM Barbershop - Laura.fi<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The GROOM Barbershop chain is expanding, and we are now looking for new entrepreneurs in different parts of Finland.
