Own a highly established, 7+ year Pet franchise with a strong, loyal customer base in one of the fastest-growing pet markets in North Carolina. This turnkey, multi-territory asset sale includes protected areas covering Raleigh, Cary, Apex, Morrisville, and Holly Springs—prime regions with exceptional pet-spending growth.
The operating retail store is fully built out and staffed, offering premium pet nutrition, treats, wellness products, mobile delivery, subscriptions, and recurring community events. A trained Community Manager and part-time sales associate support day-to-day operations, making this an attractive opportunity for both owner-operators and semi-absentee buyers.
The biggest new value-driver: a brand-new grooming station launched in December 2025, immediately adding a high-margin service with strong demand. Grooming significantly increases store traffic, boosts retail sales, and drives long-term recurring revenue. With grooming now active and customer volume rising from events and outreach, the business is positioned for accelerated growth over the next 12–24 months.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire four protected territories and a fully functioning store without the 12–18 month build-out, franchise approval delays, or $175K–$200K startup costs typically required. The buyer steps into an operating system with documented SOPs, POS/delivery/event setup, a clean and modern facility, and multiple revenue channels already in motion.
