Great Clips Great Needs. Great Deeds®. Charity Program Raises Over $500,000 In 2005

MINNEAPOLIS, MN (Monday, February 13, 2006) - Great Clips, Inc. one of the nation's largest franchisers in the $50 billion-a-year haircare industry, raised over $500,000 in 2005 through its Great Needs. Great Deeds®. charity program.

Great Clips contributed the funds to the Children's Miracle Network as well as charities such as, United Way, American Red Cross, Ronald McDonald House, and Children's Hospitals among other local charities.

Great Clips introduced the Great Needs. Great Deeds. charity program in 2001 in order to formalize the program and unite Great Clips franchises that were already participating in charitable efforts. The formalized charity program allows Great Clips salons to give back to the communities that have made them a success. Great Needs. Great Deeds. funding was raised primarily through salon-sponsored cut-a-thons, employee donations and corporate events.

"The generosity of all the people associated with Great Clips, either as an owner, employee or customer has once again helped to make Great Needs. Great Deeds a success in 2005," said Terri Miller, vice president of Marketing.

Great Clips, Inc., headquartered in Minneapolis is North America's largest and fastest growing hair salon brand in the $50 billion haircare. Established in 1982, Great Clips has perfected a system for delivering competitively priced, high quality haircuts and perms to men, women and children.
