Hibbett Launches Annual 'Clips and Kicks' Back-to-School Campaign

Hibbett, a prominent athletic-inspired fashion retailer with over 960 specialty stores across the United States, has announced the return of its annual 'Clips and Kicks' Back-to-School campaign. The initiative, running from July 28 through August 25, aims to ease the financial burden on families as they prepare for the new school year by offering free haircuts and school supplies for children at select Hibbett locations nationwide.

The 'Clips and Kicks' events are designed to create a festive atmosphere, complete with giveaways, music, and refreshments. Professional barbers will be on-site at participating stores to provide complimentary haircuts for boys and girls of all ages. Additionally, children will receive free school supplies on a first-come, first-served basis, while supplies last.

Robby Bullington, VP Store Operations at Hibbett, emphasized the importance of this annual event, stating, '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.' The campaign reflects Hibbett's commitment to community engagement and customer appreciation.

In addition to the free services, Hibbett is offering several back-to-school shopping tips to help families prepare for the new academic year. These include checking the sneaker launch calendar for new releases, joining the Hibbett Rewards program to earn points while shopping, and exploring the latest fashion trends available in-store and online.

The retailer is also promoting convenience for busy shoppers with options such as buy online, pick up in store, and same-day or next-day delivery services. For those interested in the history behind their purchases, Hibbett's blog offers insights into the origin stories of popular sneaker brands.

Hibbett's 'Clips and Kicks' events are scheduled at various locations across the country, including stores in Arkansas, Georgia, Nevada, Texas, Missouri, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. These events not only provide practical assistance to families but also serve as a celebration to kickstart the new school year.

As an athletic-inspired fashion retailer, Hibbett offers a wide range of products from top brands like Nike, Jordan, and adidas. With 1169 Hibbett and City Gear specialty stores across 36 states, the company has established itself as a go-to destination for footwear, apparel, and sports equipment.

The 'Clips and Kicks' campaign underscores the increasing costs associated with back-to-school preparations and highlights how retailers are finding innovative ways to support their communities. By offering free services and supplies, Hibbett is not only providing tangible benefits to families but also fostering goodwill and strengthening its relationship with customers in the communities it serves.
