Cash Flowing - Perfect for Semi Absentee and/or Owner Operator
Skip the "build-out" headaches and step into a high-octane revenue engine. This isn't just a grooming shop; it’s a systemized powerhouse projected to hit $750K–$800K in 2026 with a clear, zero-CAPEX path to $1M+. Featuring a $126 average ticket, a 2025 growth rate of 131%, and an AI-driven booking ecosystem, this business offers a rare "plug-and-play" opportunity for a semi-absentee investor or an owner-operator ready to scale.
While most grooming businesses struggle with scheduling chaos and staffing, this business thrives on precision. Boasting a massive database of thousands of repeat customers, the facility grew by a staggering 131% in 2025 and is already up 10% in the first two months of 2026.
The heavy lifting is done: the brand is established, the systems are automated, and the demand is so high that clients are pre-booking 4–6 weeks in advance.
Why This Business Outperforms the Market:
Built-In Scalability: The facility is fully built out with immediate floor space for 2 additional groomers. You can scale to $1M in revenue without spending a dime on construction or new equipment.
The "AI Edge": Say goodbye to missed calls and booking errors. The business utilizes cutting-edge AI and a custom app to automate scheduling, client communication, and reminders, ensuring a seamless 5-star experience.
Strong Retail & High Ticket: With an average ticket of $126—significantly higher than industry averages—and a robust retail program, the profit margins are protected and diversified.
Franchise-Ready Infrastructure: This isn't a one-off shop. The sale includes a corporate-designed multi-location layout and branding package, making this the perfect "Model Unit" for a regional or national roll-up.
Operational Flexibility:
Semi-Absentee (10-15 hrs/week): Perfect for the professional investor. A full front-desk staff and established SOPs allow you to focus on growth, not clippers.
Owner-Operator (Groomer): For a buyer who wants to be on the floor, the SDE (Seller's Discretionary Earnings) increases exponentially by capturing production labor.
Financial Snapshot:
Projected 2026 Revenue: $750,000 – $800,000
Path to $1M: Immediate capacity for 1.5 more groomers to meet existing waitlist demand.
Projected SDE (Full Staff): ~$214,000 (once at full capacity by adding 1 full time and a part time groomer).

- Lease Terms: Approximately three (3) years remaining on the current lease, with an additional five (5) year renewal option, providing up to eight (8) years of potential tenancy.
Facility & Improvements: The business is located in a newer, high-end retail development. The space was recently built out, with modern construction and no anticipated need for significant updates in the near term. All fixtures and improvements are in excellent condition, minimizing the likelihood of capital expenditures for replacements in the foreseeable future. - Market Outlook / Competition
- The pet grooming industry continues to expand, fueled by rising pet ownership and increased spending per household. Grooming is a skilled, hands-on service viewed as essential by most pet owners and is generally recession-resistant, as it cannot be easily replaced by technology or done at home. The local market is strong, with population growth of approximately 40% since 2020 and projected growth of another 16% by 2029. The business maintains thousands of repeat clients, producing stable, recurring revenue and clear opportunity for additional growth.
- Opportunities for Growth
- The business has immediate built-in capacity to scale to $1M revenue with no capital investment/build out required. The existing space is already built out for more groomers which is already supported by business demand. New owner can come in and immediately hire another groomer or an owner operator can take the space to use as their own.
