Business for Sale Overview:
This could be the best dog grooming business opportunity ever! It’s located just off a major street in a very upscale beach city in Orange County. The prime retail location brings in 8-12 new customers each month without advertising!
Established in 1994, the shop has an excellent reputation, and loyal, affluent clientele who like to keep their dogs in “show condition.” The business specializes in grooming small breeds, such as Miniature/Toy Poodles, Maltese's, Shih-Tzus, and Yorkshire Terriers. Due to the owner’s preferences, Bichon Frises and Wheaten Terriers are the largest breeds that are groomed in the shop, but an enterprising buyer could groom big dogs as well. In addition to teeth cleaning (scaling, brushing, polishing), nail trimming, and styling, “hand stripping” is also provided.
The owner has developed easy processes and procedures to keep the shop organized and running smoothly, as she is the only groomer. But there is room to expand with four grooming tables, one sink to wash small dogs, a large tub for bigger dogs, several dryers on movable stands, plus a “cage dryer” that can dry one large dog, or two small dogs at the same time. The shop is kennel-free, so the dogs are simply tethered to ties in the waiting area where they can rest comfortably until picked up by their owners. As an added service, the owner also provides dog sitting in her home.
There are many opportunities to grow the business, such as adding more groomers, increasing business hours and days, grooming larger dogs, expanding services, (example: picking-up and dropping-off the dogs, dog sitting), adding high-end “boutique” items to sell, as well as having a consistent advertising campaign.
