Property Features and Assets:

1,000 sq ft retail space located in a high-traffic strip mall with ample parking. The facility includes a customer reception area, 5 grooming stations, a pet bathing area, an office, and a bathroom/storage area. All grooming tables, lighting fixtures, work benches, and cages have been purchased in the last 2 years.  There is also a new central A/C Unit, POS System, and remote access security system.

Current owner purchased business in 2019 and implemented several strategic improvements - developed a website where clients can request appointments, streamlined operations and processes, increased marketing efforts through social media, email, and Google Ads, sponsored local events and created relationships with local
Humane Societies.

Market Competition and Expansion:

The local area consists mostly of pet stores, boarding, and supply retail stores. There are a few other groomers in the area but none that have the expertise, range of spa services, and recognition for quality work.

Beyond working at the store (which could add $30-$50k), there are numerous ways the business could grow.  The most immediate and impactful would be the following: Keeping the business open 7 days week - Starting a grooming school - Expanding partnerships with adoption places & pet stores

Reason for Selling:

Owner has interests in other businesses. Kindly ask the seller for more information.
