Cullen Dickey with Falcon Realty Advisors in Dallas tells GlobeSt.com that the next deal will be signed in two months. Knockouts' two-year plan is to have 10 shops in Dallas/Fort Worth as well as Irvine and San Diego, CA and a long-range goal to expand into Mexico City, Puerto Vallarta and Tijuana, he says of the corporate-owned and franchise rollout.

Dickey is scouting for inline space in high-end lifestyle centers with high-traffic foot counts. Knockouts, led by Dallas investor Tom Friday, penned a three-year lease for its first salon, a concept with a boxing theme and statuesque stylists as its hook.
