Hibbett, an athletic-inspired fashion retailer with more than 960 specialty stores nationwide, has announced the launch of its annual 'Clips and Kicks' Back-to-School campaign. This initiative aims to ease the financial strain on families as they prepare for the new school year by offering free children's haircuts and school supplies at select Hibbett locations nationwide from July 28 through August 25.
According to Robby Bullington, VP of Store Operations at Hibbett, the event is a recurring favorite among the community. “This is a popular and fun event for us to host each year and provide our neighbors with some relief as they get their kids ready for the new school year,” Bullington stated. “We know that back-to-school prep can be overwhelming and we’ve found that parents really appreciate not having to pay for a barber or school supplies. They can bring their kids into a store, get them free haircuts and free gear and enjoy some shopping – it’s all about added value.”
The Clips & Kicks events offer more than just essentials; they serve as community celebrations complete with giveaways, music, and refreshments. Professional barbers are on-site at each participating location to provide complimentary haircuts for boys and girls of all ages. The supplies and services are available on a first-come, first-serve basis, ensuring that every child can look and feel their best for the upcoming school year. No purchase is necessary to participate, making it accessible for all families in the community.
In addition to the free services, Hibbett offers several back-to-school shopping tips to make the transition smoother for families. Attendees are encouraged to check out the sneaker launch calendar for the latest releases, join the Hibbett Rewards program to earn rewards while shopping, and explore the latest trends in-store and online. For those in a hurry, options like buy online, pick up in store, or same-day and next-day delivery are available.
The campaign's schedule includes events at locations such as Pinebluff, Arkansas on July 28, Hinesville, Georgia on August 2, and North Las Vegas, Nevada on August 3, among others. The initiative not only supports families during a financially stressful time but also fosters a sense of community and goodwill, demonstrating Hibbett’s commitment to its customers.
With rising costs associated with back-to-school preparation, Hibbett's Clips & Kicks campaign provides a much-needed financial respite for families. By offering essential services for free, Hibbett is not only helping families save money but also creating a positive and supportive environment for children as they head back to school.
