Price Attack will open three stores on one day when franchisees in New South Wales towns Bateau Bay, Dubbo and Liverpool in greater Sydney, launch their new businesses on 16 December.

The triple opening comes after the latest store unveiling, at Brookside Shopping Centre in Queensland.

Chief executive officer John Pascoe and network development manager Tanya Kanaris are now after the challenges of lockdown to step up the pace of openings.

John Pascoe said “Certainly, the pandemic lockdowns did knock us around a fair bit with plans put on-hold, and then put on-hold again and again. But we are a tenacious team, with equally tenacious franchisees who have been working non-stop to get their stores operational and open before the end of the year.”

The Price Attack team is primed for the spurt of new stores which will continue into 2022.

Tanya Kanaris said two further New South Wales stores will open their doors early in 2022 in Hurstville in southern Sydney and Toormina near Coffs Harbour, with one franchisee making a pandemic-driven sea change from Victoria.

“We are now on the precipice of a very exciting era for Price Attack,” she said.

The retail chain’s brand resilience came from being both a service provider and a retailer with stores across Australia reporting strong and improved figures during the toughest of lockdowns.

Franchise buyers keen to consider a Price Attack outlet need to combine ambition with collaboration, and bring a passion for retail – with a difference. Retail management experience matched to an interest in managing a full service hair salon with some beauty services is ideal – hairdressing experience is a bonus but not essential.
