Atlanta airport aims to open barbershop

Hartsfield-Jackson International is seeking businesses interested in operating the world’s busiest airport’s first barbershop.

The Atlanta airport had planned to open a Jakki Colours hair salon in the airport atrium several years ago, but the salon never opened. Now, Hartsfield-Jackson wants to open a 1,349-square-foot barbershop.

A pre-proposal conference for the airport barbershop held earlier this year did not generate as much interest as expected.

The airport plans to hold a meeting at 10 a.m. Thursday at 1255 South Loop Rd. in College Park to attract more interest in the concept. That will be followed by another pre-proposal conference Oct. 3, with proposals due Nov. 7.
