Known for its top-notch hair services, Legends Barbershop is expanding its footprint in Botswana, and Palapye is welcoming its own branch. The Palapye store responds to demand from those who appreciate legendary service.

The new Legends Barbershop Palapye is conveniently located at Riverview Mall, marking the third branch in Botswana. The first store opened at Hillside Mall, next to Game City, while the second is at Sarona City Mall, both in Gaborone.

The news was announced by local franchise owner, Kealeboga Gaelebale, also known as Dj Kells in the entertainment industry, who serves as the Director of Legends Barbershop Botswana.

In an interview, Gaelebale expresses excitement about empowering locals through this venture. The new store is set to open its doors on February 24th, a significant milestone for Legends Barbershop as it expands its presence into Palapye, offering premium grooming services.

Gaelebale emphasizes that what sets Legends Barbershop Botswana apart from other businesses in the industry is their commitment to empowering locals. "Every member of our dedicated team, from barbers to receptionists and supervisors, hails from Palapye," he explains. "This strategic decision not only ensures the employment of skilled professionals but also contributes to the local community's economic development."

He adds that Legends Barbershop is renowned for its exceptional grooming services, and now Palapye residents can experience the same high-quality cuts, personalized service, and attention to detail that have become

synonymous with the Legends brand.

"We can’t wait to give our customers in Palapye the five-star service they have all been waiting for, and we just want to say thank you for your patience," says Gaelebale.

The decision to open the new store was influenced by calls and demand from customers in Palapye and surrounding areas who desired the same experience as those in Gaborone. Gaelebale also notes that Palapye's status

as one of the fastest-growing towns in Botswana contributed to the decision.

Exciting milestones ahead include enhancing customer experience and introducing massage services across all stores. "We are also looking into introducing other grooming services like manicures and facials for men," Gaelebale adds.

On the opening day, they will offer a special where the first twenty customers receive a free haircut. Guests can also enjoy complimentary refreshments, music, and an exceptional experience.

Legends Barbershop was founded by Sheldon Tatchell in 2011 on the sidewalks of Eldorado Park. The store offers haircuts, shaves, beard trims, and other grooming services.
