Before starbucks opened it had already set up most of its menu. Crafting the perfect blends of coffee, milk and sugar...among other things. Then they bought the chains like all chain stores do. This is what Aderans is doing and it may be they have an Ace in the hole.

Interesting, I never thought about it like that. Ive always seen Aderans affiliation with Bosley, and now Hair club, as a negative, but looking at it that way it could be a good sign. Guess time will tell.

All the companies that Aderans are acquiring are probably money making machines.

Well, since Aderan's is primarily a wig maker and Hair Club is primarily a wig seller, this acquisition makes financial sense.
