Grow Knoxville Wins Pinnacle Award



Grow Knoxville, a Shane Archer Concept, was selected by the Knoxville Chamber of Commerce as the 2022 Pinnacle Business Impact Award winner. The Impact Award is presented to a business that displays a strong commitment to making East Tennessee a better place to live through the development and support of a community project or program.

“Grow Knoxville lives by a strong community vision and core values,” said Archer. “At the heart of our overall mission is giving back to the community we serve through the support of local impact programs such as the Senior Companion Program, Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, Wesley House Community Center, The Butterfly Fund, East Tennessee Children’s Hospital and Knoxville Habitat for Humanity. We created our grow Gives Back program to express our dedication and commitment to serving and enriching the community we live in and do business in. We ask all stylists when they come on board to pick a cause that is near and dear to them that we can support in some way. We want our staff to not only grow professionally but personally as well through giving back to the people who give so much to us.”
