Pivot Point International, Inc. is more than just a “hairdressing school.” We are a hair and beauty education company that has a network of 2,000 member schools in 42 countries and has an extensive publishing division that produces educational material for the industry on a worldwide basis. Our headquarters and original campus happen to be at the corner of Howard and Clark streets in Rogers Park.
We’ve been in a battle with the city and the developer of Gateway Mall for over two years (not “for several weeks,” as was stated in the article). And we most definitely have not “recognized that Mulder [the developer]” has “the upper hand.” In fact, we have never wavered from our position that our first priority has always been to stay in the community at our current location. However, we’ve always been open for discussion with the parties involved to hear what alternate solutions they might have. Unfortunately neither the developer nor the city has offered us any viable alternatives.
