From Empire Place to Rapid City: Drybar Closes its Doors, Leaves Fans and Franchisees in Mourning

The Sioux Falls Drybar located at Empire Place has officially closed its doors as the owner searches for a new franchisee to take over the business. The closure of the salon, which was situated in front of The Empire Mall, marks the end of an era for the franchisees.

In addition to the Sioux Falls location, the franchises also closed down their Rapid City branch due to unforeseen circumstances. The closure was announced in a statement released by the business, expressing gratitude to their team and clients. All memberships have been canceled, and any membership fees processed in April are being refunded to customers.

Despite the closures, the teams at both locations had a lot of fun serving customers with great hair and mimosas, creating memories that will be cherished. In fact, Hawaii Fluid Art, a neighboring business at the same retail center, also unexpectedly closed earlier this year.

The franchisor is currently working on selling the shops with the hopes of reopening them soon. In the meantime, gift cards and saved member benefits can still be used at other Drybar locations across the country.
