NEWSBARBERS: THE COMPANY
Newsbarbers Co. is a collaboration of young entrepreneurs who are active and semi-active members of the professional working media.
Established in late 2002, it was founded amid the growing challenge of finding an alternative source of income.
The group then decided that the grooming business could be the most viable venture to take.
The name Newsbarbers was chosen to aptly reflect the background of the people behind the company.
Moreover, the name Newsbarbers symbolizes a bygone era when a barbershop - a fixture that is old as the Romans and the Greeks - was the dispenser of goodwill and information in the community, the repository of gossips and the de facto registry of most sought-after village residents.
Thus, after formally registering as a partnership in 2003, Newsbarbers Co. set out to establish its first outlet in the lower ground level of Ever Gotesco Commonwealth Mall in Quezon City.
To further boost its capital, Newsbarbers Co. subsequently engaged the support of their other media colleagues and close friends as “partners/investors� and proceeded to set up its second branch at the Circle C Mall along Congressional Avenue, barely three months after the inception of Ever branch.
Last December 2005, Newsbarbers opened its third branch at the SM City Fairview Mall.Currently, the company is finalizing the setting-up of two more mall-based branches in the province of Cavite.
MISSION/VISION
Newsbarbers Co. was founded on the belief that a business venture must not only be profitable but should deliver affordable service to its clients and, at the same time, create employment for the community it serves.
The Company also believes that whoever works in the business with utmost dedication must also be allowed to partake of the fruits of the enterprise either as future managers or partners/investors.
These are the driving forces behind the Newsbarbers Co.
To date, Newsbarbers has included the company’s head barberas one of the part-owners/investors.
In its succeeding branches, Newsbarbers hopes to turn more of its barbers as part-owners.
