MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (JUNE 19, 2023) — Great Clips, Inc. has been named one of the Top 200 Workplaces in Minnesota by the Star Tribune. The company was ranked #18 on the midsized company list.

“This award recognizes the work that everyone at Great Clips, Inc. does to live out our values,” said Steve Hockett, CEO of Great Clips, Inc. “All staff members have contributed to building a collaborative, inclusive culture with a clear intent on making a difference for our franchisees and our communities.”  

Produced by the same team that compiles the 32-year-old Star Tribune 100 report of the best-performing public companies in Minnesota, Top Workplaces recognizes the most progressive companies in Minnesota based on employee opinions measuring engagement, organizational health and satisfaction. The analysis included responses from 124,719 employees at Minnesota public, private and nonprofit organizations.
