The choice space at 1538 Bayview Ave just north of Millwod Rd. has been leased by Sport Clips Haircuts, a U.S. hair care franchise which boasts some 1,000 locations throughout the U.S. This address is the former NIMA money exchange premises. Sports Clips has just opened its first location in Canada in Burlington and it says it has plans to open at least three more in Toronto. “After a year and a half of market research and planning, we’re very excited to open the first store in Canada!” said Peter Kowal. “We look forward to demonstrating to the community that a sports-themed hair salon for men and boys is what the city has been missing.” It’s nice to have a new business on the street of course but no doubt the long-time hair-cutting places will be keeping an eye on their new potential competition. We could not help noticing that part of Sports Clips promotion (inset) shows guys watching sports on big screens and getting their hair cut by happy ladies. Welcome Sports Clips.
