The new Portland Business Journal features the growing Bishops brand and founder Leo Rivera, including Rivera's new salon format ("Bishops, the Salon") - just introduced in the Pearl District a few weeks ago.

The Pearl salon, with its Italian leather chairs, complimentary cocktails and reservation list, concedes that residents of the upscale neighborhood aren't likely to wait an hour for a haircut, as they sometimes do at other Bishops locations. Clients there want more service and appointments, Rivera said. "We probably wouldn't have done [a salon] anywhere but in the Pearl District," he said.
