Excellent opportunity to acquire an established pet grooming and retail franchise operating under one of the fastest-growing pet franchise systems in the United States. With more than 300 locations open or under development as of early 2026, the franchisor continues to expand its national footprint and brand recognition. The franchise is backed by Garnett Station Partners, a private equity firm that provides the organizational infrastructure and capital support for continued system-wide growth.

This business operates under a dual-concept model combining professional pet grooming services with premium pet retail products, positioning the store as a convenient one-stop destination for pet owners.

Professional grooming is the core revenue driver and the strongest component of the business. The store services approximately 300+ unique customers per month, with an average of 11–14 grooming appointments per day. Services include full grooms, bathing, haircuts, blow-drying, nail trimming, nail grinding, teeth brushing, and specialty breed cuts.

The grooming appointment book represents a tangible recurring revenue asset, supported by strong client retention and repeat visits. Annual grooming bookings have remained relatively stable at approximately 4,000+ appointments per year, generating approximately $314,000 to $337,000 in annual service revenue. This consistency demonstrates the health and durability of the core grooming operation, even as the retail segment has experienced decline.

The retail component offers premium pet food, treats, accessories, and branded products consistent with the Franchise concept. Retail sales have declined from approximately $128,000 in 2023 to $91,000 in 2024 and $60,000 in 2025, representing a cumulative decline of approximately 53% over two years. This creates a clear opportunity for a new owner to improve merchandising, product mix, in-store promotions, customer conversion, and retail attachment rates.

The business generates revenue through three primary channels: professional grooming services, retail product sales, and groomer tips. Groomer tips pass directly through to employees and are excluded from Seller’s Discretionary Earnings.

This is an attractive opportunity for an owner-operator or strategic buyer seeking a service-based franchise business in the growing pet care industry, with a stable grooming customer base and identifiable upside through retail optimization, local marketing, customer loyalty programs, and operational enhancements.
