McDonalds owns about 90% of the land under their resturants. That really helped them long term. A long term lease is just about as good. All the small barriers can add up to a large barriers. Starbucks is a pretty good example. One other factor is that beauty saloons have a social aspect, sort of like a power resturant or bar. Everyone wants to go where the other heavy hitters go. This can mean a degree of lock-in, first mover advantage. Except for some high end saloons chains like Vidal Sasson, most beauty spa chains in the US have had great localized success, but most seem to peak out early. There is alos lots of used equipment in the US, and experienced people, so setting up a small spa is easier tha in China.
