Unrivaled Turnkey Pet Retail & Grooming Opportunity with Pre-Paid Expansion Rights
Situated in a highly desirable, pet-friendly community in Matthews, this established pet retail store and professional grooming salon offers an incredibly rare acquisition opportunity. Designed from the ground up for maximum operational efficiency and volume, this business stands out by offering a fully staffed, turnkey operation combined with a massive, pre-paid runway for regional expansion.
State-of-the-Art, Zero-CapEx Facility
The physical build-out of this location is second to none and requires absolutely no immediate capital expenditure. The professional grooming salon is fully outfitted with 7 premium electric lift tables, 2 heavy-duty electric lift bathing tubs, commercial high-velocity dryers, and complete kennel banks. Additionally, a dedicated self-wash station features an extra-large, standalone wash tub specifically plumbed to seamlessly accommodate giant breeds. The front of house boasts a professionally merchandised retail floor with high-quality adjustable shelving and a modern POS reception desk, while the back of house includes a commercial washer and dryer setup specifically for salon towel management.
$60,000 in Pre-Paid Franchise Expansion Territories
What truly separates this listing from any other pet business on the market is the included growth potential. This sale includes fully purchased franchise territory rights for Southpark in Charlotte and all of Fort Mill, South Carolina. These specific territories represent two of the most affluent and rapidly growing demographics in the region. The rights for these areas have already been purchased for approximately $60,000 and are included in this sale at absolutely no extra cost. A new owner can immediately leverage these secured rights to launch secondary retail locations or mobile grooming fleets without steep initial franchise buy-ins.
Strategic Market Positioning & Geographic Moat
This store enjoys a highly advantageous market position. We serve as the primary destination for premium pet nutrition and professional grooming in the immediate area. Our closest comparable competitor is located on the other side of Highway 74. This major highway acts as a natural geographic moat, keeping local Matthews clientele shopping and grooming with us for convenience and creating a highly loyal, recurring customer base.
Fully Staffed, 7-Day Operations
This is not a business where the new owner is required to groom dogs or scramble to fill schedules. The store and salon are fully staffed and operate seven days a week to meet surging community demand. Overall operations are expertly overseen by our General Manager, Andy, while daily grooming standards and staff training are managed by our dedicated Salon Lead, Erin. Together, they lead a robust, reliable team of retail staff and professional groomers—including several recent full-time additions—ensuring a new owner steps into established operational momentum and a heavily booked client schedule from day one.
Immediate Profitability for a Debt-Free Buyer
The $550,000 asking price is strategically set as a pure asset and territory sale. A buyer stepping in without the current owner's debt obligations immediately stops the cash flow drain of existing loans and steps right into the business’s true operating profitability, capturing immediate monthly cash flow.
Seamless Transition & Handoff
The current owners are preparing for an international relocation, necessitating the sale of this local asset. To ensure the continued success of the store and a flawless handoff, operational partner Megan will remain heavily involved in the interim. She will provide comprehensive, hands-on transition support covering all daily operations, retail inventory management, and client relations.
(Note: The mobile grooming van is explicitly excluded from this sale.)

This prime positioning allows the business to capture and retain neighborhood foot traffic without the pressure of a saturated local market.

You are effectively securing a multi-location expansion footprint—with $60k in franchise value already paid for—for the price of a single established store.
