GRNE Sets Its Sight on Fourth Aveda(TM) Location

SALT LAKE CITY, UT--(Marketwire - Aug 16, 2012) - Green Endeavors, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: GRNE), a majority owned subsidiary of Nexia Holdings, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: NXHD), is looking forward to opening its third Landis Lifestyle Salon in Draper, Utah. The Draper location will be our fourth store that would contain a full array of Aveda™ products.

Draper, Utah has median household incomes that exceed $80,000. The prospective location will have a high traffic count, great visibility, and will be 2,500 to 4,000 sq. ft. The tentative salon will have between 14 to 20 chairs. Currently, Draper has a number of salons that are booth rental. None of the current salons in the area match our operating guidelines or high training standards.

Richard Surber, CEO of GRNE, stated, "There is a total lack of high-end high-quality salons in Draper. Landis would bring an Aveda™ Lifestyle Salon to Draper that in my opinion would rival the operating success of our flagship location in central Salt Lake that is on track to generate over $2M in gross revenues this year. I am so convinced of the potential of the area that we are currently increasing staffing levels at our existing locations in anticipation of a new Draper location. We are looking to train about 40 additional stylists. Hiring to capacity at our current lifestyle salons will be the spring board to additional salon openings. The opening of Aveda™ at City Creek is yet another powerful tool that will further brand Aveda™ in the Utah market, as well as help drive business to current locations in the Greater Salt Lake area."
