The salon sits directly next to Butler Plaza, the region’s most popular Class A shopping center anchored by major national retailers and restaurants. This prime positioning draws heavy foot traffic and walk-in clients. It’s also surrounded by high-profile co-tenants (including popular eateries like Chipotle, Vale Food Co., and Relish Big Tasty Burgers), creating a continuous flow of potential customers. For additional customer draw, the site is located on Gainesville’s main retail corridor just a quarter mile from I-75, and only minutes from the University of Florida (over 50,000 students), major hospitals, and numerous residential neighborhoods—ensuring a broad and steady flow of clients from both local and visiting populations.
