The vendor opportunity at V's Barbershop
V's Barbershop is a personal-services franchisor headquartered in Arizona, running 62 franchised units at a $578,395 average unit volume and 3.3% year-over-year growth. Item 19 of the FDD makes a financial performance representation. The brand is part of V's Franchising.
Who controls software purchasing
Item 2 names Amanda Vogt as Chief Digital Officer, Diego Valenzuela II as Managing Member and CEO, and Renae Germinaro as Director of Franchise Relations. Twenty-six mapped operators run roughly 34 located units, four of them multi-unit, led by Arizona with a presence in North Carolina, Georgia, Texas, and Arkansas — a base broad enough that both HQ and larger operators can influence a purchase.
Tech named in the FDD, and what is actually required
None of the systems named in the filing are contractually mandated. QuickBooks appears under Item 11, though nothing requires its use — the accounting and back-office stack at V's Barbershop is currently a displacement target rather than a locked-in incumbent.
Procurement, renewals, and timing
V's Barbershop runs an approved-supplier list under Item 8: equipment, inventory, trademarked items, and grooming supplies must come from the franchisor, its affiliates, or an approved vendor, which may be the sole source for certain items, though franchisees may propose alternatives for approval. With 62 units growing 3.3% year over year, new openings are a steady source of fresh technology decisions.
