GEORGETOWN, Texas (Nov. 13, 2025) — Sport Clips Haircuts is ranked #13 among Entrepreneur magazine’s 2025 “Top Franchises for Veterans,” reflecting more than a decade of consistent recognition for veteran support and opportunity within the brand’s franchise system. Sport Clips appears regularly in Entrepreneur and other top media outlets for its veteran-friendly franchise model.
A brand built to serve veterans
Sport Clips’ veteran focus is cultural and an integral part of the system. U.S. Air Force veteran Gordon Logan founded the company, and it has long been the Official Haircutter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW). That partnership powers the VFW’s Sport Clips Help A Hero Scholarship program, which has provided millions in tuition support to service members and veterans. In 2025, Sport Clips, clients, and partners donated $1.33 million to VFW scholarships, pushing lifetime contributions well past $15 million.
