LISTING ID # 34510

This salon revolutionized dog grooming in the metro area, spawning several copycats yet they continue to be the leading pet salon in the area. Unlike the traditional approach of early morning drop off and dogs being in cages all day while they wait for their turn to be groomed, they have been a cage-free, appointment only salon for 16 years. This value proposition has been particularly successful in the affluent, centrally located suburb filled with "pampered pooches". Like the human hair salon model, dogs come in, have one on one attention for the entire time they are under their groomers care, then are picked back up by their owners. All groomers have direct contact with the owners too to avoid any details being lost in translation. Throughout the 16 year history, they have maintained consistency, a loyal clientele, and achieved excellent online reviews despite changes in grooming staff while also being the busiest they have ever been. Its been so busy that for the time being they have not been accepting new clients and have started a wait list for those wishing to get in for the first time. Business is ripe for expansion to a larger space that will accommodate additional groomers, or mobile grooming offerings where groomers go to their clients homes. There is also opportunity to expand into services other than grooming since their existing clientele have a need for pet supplies, daycare, boarding, training, taxi service to and from grooming/vet appointments, home pet care, waste removal, dog food delivery, and a variety of cat services on top of that. Pet services are more in demand than ever before since many families welcomed in pets during the pandemic. New owners will have the opportunity to be a part of decisions regarding relocation that is projected Jan 2022 and all other service expansions. Please also note that the seller is in a temporary location with the business, so please no drive-by's.
