Cost Cutters/Fantastic Sams/Lemon Tree

Ypsilanti, MI Fantastic Sams.

There are three franchised hairdresser and beauty salon chains in the nation that I'm aware of not in my immediate area, so I thought I'd try that for a bit of a change. Cost Cutters already have locations in Cortland, Oneida and Auburn (their competitors can go in these small towns instead marked with an *), while Fantastic Sams locations exist in Albany and Schenectady (formerly in nearby suburb Delmar where I'd heard of them) and the Lemon Tree I heard of downstate when I lived going that way and know the least about (closest one is in Sidney it turns out). Here's where they all could go:

Manlius - former Kinney Drugs, NY 92
Liverpool - former Verizon Wireless (NY 31)
New Hartford - Sangertown Square, NY 5 & 5A
North Syracuse - Northern Lights Plaza, US 11 (FedEx Office as they've moved up the street)
Cicero - Marketplace Plaza or former Green Planet Grocery, NY 31
Syracuse (Eastwood) - former Rite Aid, Shop City or former Eastwood Hair & Beauty Co. et al, NY 290 (as of 21/9/25)
Cortland - downtown or Cortlandville*
Bridgeport - former Kinney Drugs, NY 31
Oneida - TBD*
Auburn - Fingerlakes Mall or former Family Dollar on NY 5/US 20*
Elbridge - former Family Dollar or Ace Hardware on NY 5
Rochester - former Blockbuster Video on NY 31
Canastota - former Family Dollar on NY 5 & 13
Phoenix - former Lock Street Cutters on CR 12 off CR 57

Cost Cutters' sister chains Supercuts (too easy), Regis (flagship), HairCrafters (no longer in CNY), MasterCuts (in Destiny USA along with main chain and a rival one) and SmartStyle (via Walmart) are all in town already which may explain why CC have just a few in the region as part of the Regis conglomerate. Lemon Tree are now in Camillus (original post worked, so I've edited since), Delaware and Otsego Counties off I-88, as well as the tri-state area.

Zaxby's

Hattiesburg, MS location (O'Charleys will have 2 W8).

Heard of Zaxby's from a commercial for something based in the South so it looked like something I'd like to see north of the Masie-Dixie.
