Acquire an established mobile pet-grooming business serving some of North County San Diego's most desirable communities, including Carlsbad, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar and Encinitas. The buyer steps into an operating platform with three franchise territories, five employees, dedicated dispatch, two fully equipped mobile salons, established systems, a 5.0-star reputation and a customer base built around recurring service.
Trailing-12-month cash-basis revenue was $492,968 for July 2025 through June 2026. As of August 13, 2026, 84.6% of active customers were recurring, and returning customers generated 80.3% of completed 2026 revenue. The business maintains a 5.0 Google rating across 231 reviews, providing strong third-party proof of service quality and customer satisfaction.
Forward demand is already visible. As of August 13, the calendar held 420 appointments totaling $98,551 scheduled through year-end, and 94.8% of those appointments belonged to repeat customers. This scheduled subtotal is not completed revenue, but it demonstrates the strength of the existing customer relationships and the recurring nature of the operation.
A major near-term capacity catalyst is already confirmed. One van produced $27,708 in completed service revenue during July while the second van was out of service. Van 2 is confirmed to return August 17, 2026, restoring two-van capacity against existing demand. Before the interruption, the two vans sustained 19 consecutive weeks at nine or more productive shifts and reached 11 shifts in a week.
The sale is intended to include:
-Two fully equipped 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter mobile grooming vans
-Three established North County franchise territories
-A trained five-person team consisting of three groomers and two dispatchers
-Customer and scheduling history, dispatch workflows and operating procedures
-Grooming equipment, tools, supplies and organized storage assets
-Business phone number, website and transferable digital assets
-Seller transition assistance under mutually agreed terms
Each van operates as a professional all-electric mobile salon equipped with a grooming tub, hydraulic table, dryers, water tanks, pumps, plumbing, electrical systems and installed operating equipment. Operations are supported by a secure base in Kearny Mesa with designated van parking, water and electrical access, and a 10-foot by 6-foot storage shed.
The immediate growth opportunity does not depend on purchasing another vehicle. A buyer can deploy restored two-van capacity, reopen constrained booking windows, add productive shifts, tighten route density, protect recurring schedules and improve lead follow-up and rebooking through the existing dispatch function. Additional groomers and vehicle capacity can be evaluated later using actual demand rather than speculative projections.
This opportunity is best suited to an engaged owner who will oversee staffing, financial management, franchisor coordination and growth while leveraging the team and infrastructure already in place. It may also fit an existing franchise operator or service-business owner seeking a premium North County platform with trained labor, recurring customers and expansion capacity.
The vans are intended to transfer free of financing debt and monetary liens at closing. Detailed financial information, the current reconciliation and supporting operating records are available to qualified buyers after execution of a Non-Disclosure Agreement. Franchise transfer, buyer approval, onboarding and training remain subject to the franchisor's then-current requirements and definitive agreements.
SBA financing may be available to qualified buyers, subject to lender underwriting, SBA eligibility, transaction structure, buyer qualification and franchisor approval. No borrower or transaction is represented as pre-approved.

About the Business
- Years in Operation
- 2
- Employees
- 5 (2 Full-time, 3 Part-time)
3 experienced groomers, each with 10+ years of experience and 2 dispatchers, cov - Franchise
- This business is an established franchise
- Facilities & Assets
- The sale includes two fully equipped 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter mobile grooming vans, each built as an all-electric professional salon with a grooming tub, hydraulic table, dryers, water tanks, pumps, plumbing, electrical systems and installed operating equipment. Grooming tools, towels, shampoos, conditioners, supplies and parts are included, subject to final inventory.
Operations are supported by a secure base in Kearny Mesa with designated van parking, water and electrical access, and an organized 10' x 6' storage shed. Current occupancy is approximately $750 per month plus shared utilities, subject to buyer diligence and property-owner approval.
Also included, subject to franchisor approval and definitive agreements: three franchise territories, customer and scheduling history, operating procedures, dispatch workflows, business phone number, website and transferable digital assets. The vans are intended to transfer free of financing debt and monetary liens at closing. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The business serves Carlsbad, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Encinitas and surrounding North County communities with affluent demographics, high pet ownership and strong demand for premium in-home convenience. Competition includes traditional grooming salons and other mobile operators, but mobile service removes travel, waiting rooms and multi-pet salon stress while delivering one-on-one care at the customer's home.
The operation is differentiated by three established franchise territories, experienced groomers, dedicated dispatch, premium pricing, a 5.0 Google rating across 231 reviews and documented repeat behavior. As of August 13, 2026, 84.6% of active customers were recurring; returning customers generated 80.3% of completed 2026 revenue; and 94.8% of future appointments belonged to repeat customers. This provides a strong base of repeat service rather than one-time transactional demand. - Opportunities for Growth
- Near-term growth does not depend on purchasing another vehicle. One van produced $27,708 in completed service revenue during July while Van 2 was out of service. Van 2 is confirmed to return August 17, 2026, restoring two-van capacity against an existing forward calendar of 420 appointments totaling $98,551 through year-end as of August 13.
The immediate opportunity is to deploy more productive shifts, reopen constrained booking windows, tighten route density, protect recurring schedules and improve lead follow-up and rebooking through the existing dispatch function. The two vans previously sustained 19 consecutive weeks at nine or more productive shifts and reached 11 shifts in a week, demonstrating operating capacity beyond the current schedule. After that capacity is better utilized, a buyer can recruit additional groomers and evaluate additional vans using actual demand rather than speculative projections.
