Unrivaled Turnkey Pet Retail, Grooming & Mobile Fleet Opportunity with Expansion Rights
Situated in a pet-friendly Matthews community, this established retail store, professional salon, and mobile operation offers a rare acquisition opportunity. Designed for maximum efficiency, it provides a fully staffed, turnkey storefront and mobile fleet, plus a massive pre-paid runway for regional expansion.
State-of-the-Art Facility & Zero-CapEx Build-Out
The physical build-out requires no immediate capital expenditure. The grooming salon is fully outfitted with 7 premium electric tables, 2 heavy-duty tubs, commercial high-velocity dryers, finishing stations, and complete kennel banks. A self-wash station features an extra-large standalone tub for giant breeds. The front of house boasts a merchandised retail floor with adjustable shelving and a modern POS desk, while the back includes a commercial washer and dryer setup for salon towel management.
Included Mobile Fleet & Delivery Logistics
Beyond the storefront, this acquisition includes a fully equipped mobile grooming van, owned outright, allowing a new owner to immediately capture premium mobile service revenue. Additionally, a dedicated retail delivery van is included to support local community deliveries and retail logistics. (Note: The delivery van is currently financed; the buyer will assume the remaining payments by transferring the vehicle's financing to their purchasing entity).
$60,000 in Pre-Paid Franchise Expansion Territories
What truly separates this listing from others is the included growth potential. This sale includes fully purchased franchise territory rights for Southpark in Charlotte and all of Fort Mill, South Carolina—two of the most affluent and rapidly growing demographics in the region. These rights were purchased for approximately $60,000 and are included at no extra cost. A new owner can immediately leverage these secured rights to launch secondary retail locations or deploy additional mobile grooming fleets into high-income zip codes without steep initial franchise buy-ins.
Strategic Market Positioning & Geographic Moat
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 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 reliable team of retail staff and professional groomers, ensuring a new owner steps into established momentum and a heavily booked client schedule from day one.
Immediate Profitability for a Debt-Free Buyer
The $675,000 asking price is strategically set as a pure asset, fleet, and territory sale. A buyer stepping in without the current owner's debt obligations immediately captures the business’s true operating profitability and monthly cash flow.
Seamless Transition & Handoff
Preparing for an international relocation to Panama, the owners must sell this local asset. To ensure a flawless handoff, operational partner Megan will remain heavily involved, providing hands-on transition support covering daily operations, retail inventory management, mobile workflows, and client relations.

- Market Outlook / Competition
- This business enjoys a highly advantageous market position with a dedicated local customer base and virtually no direct competition in the immediate vicinity. Located in a thriving, pet-friendly community, the store serves as the primary destination for premium pet nutrition and professional grooming services for the area.
The local competitive landscape is incredibly favorable. The closest comparable pet supply store is located on the other side of Highway 74. This major highway creates a natural geographic moat, keeping the local Matthews and Stallings clientele shopping and grooming with us for their convenience. This prime positioning allows the business to capture and retain neighborhood foot traffic without the pressure of a saturated local market.
For a new owner, this means stepping into an environment with established community loyalty, a clear geographic advantage, and immense potential to continue scaling without battling neighboring competitors for market share. - Opportunities for Growth
- The most significant growth opportunity lies in immediate, pre-paid geographic expansion. As a massive bonus to the buyer, this sale includes fully purchased franchise territories for Southpark in Charlotte and all of Fort Mill, South Carolina.
These franchise territories have already been purchased for approximately $60,000 and are being included in this deal at no additional cost.
Southpark and Fort Mill represent two of the most affluent, rapidly growing, and pet-friendly demographics in the greater region. Because the franchise rights for these specific areas are already fully paid and secured, a new owner has a massive head start. You can immediately leverage these territories to open secondary retail and grooming locations, tapping into high-income neighborhoods without the steep initial franchise territory buy-in.
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.
