Franchise territory · Wrexham
A city’s clientele.
No city rent.
Wrexham city and its whole village ring — Gresford, Rossett, Llay, Coedpoeth, Chirk, Ruabon, Bangor-on-Dee. The single biggest population centre in North Wales, served from one wrapped electric van.
The territory
Wrexham is 135,000 people and Wales’s newest city — a dense urban core ringed by villages that salons left behind: Gresford, Rossett, Llay, Gwersyllt, Coedpoeth, Brymbo, Rhosllanerchrugog, Ruabon, Chirk, Marchwiel, Overton, Bangor-on-Dee. A high-street salon serves whoever parks; the van serves the whole map.
The city brings volume and visibility — a wrapped EV in Wrexham traffic is advertising you don’t pay extra for — while the villages bring the loyalty that fills a five-to-six-week rebooking cycle for years.
Why Wrexham works
- The biggest single market — 135,000 residents (ONS Census 2021) and city-status momentum
- Urban + village mix — volume in the core, loyalty in the ring: the ideal recurring-diary shape
- Zero premises exposure — a city centre’s worth of clients without a city centre lease
- Border reach — Holt, Pulford and the Cheshire fringe sit minutes from the eastern edge

The maths of a full diary
100–120 clients.
That’s the whole target.
A stabilised full-time column runs on 100–120 recurring clients rebooking on a five-to-six-week cycle — around 25 route-clustered appointments a week. In a territory of this size, that is a sliver of the market: the high street sheds salons every year, and the clients don’t stop needing their hair done. They just stop travelling for it.
Your launch comes with the brand behind it: a wrapped EV on Wrexham’s commuter routes, the group’s local search presence, a launch promotion funded by the marketing levy, and rebooking automation that turns first visits into six-week cycles.
