Business Overview:
Located just outside of Philadelphia, this boarding and grooming facility with pet transportation has a general manager that is capable of running operations! Owner’s responsibilities include general oversight. With the ability to house 114 pets since 1990, this overnight pet care business is fully equipped with over $210,000 in assets. They are 29% up in the first five months of sales compared to 2018. The business has $150,000 in buildout completed with a 4,000 square feet building; 450 square feet office, 450 square feet apartment for senior staff (providing 24-hour animal coverage). They also offer a shuttle service to and from their location for overnight stays.
This facility has an extremely dedicated staff of 14 in place to take care the 4,000 active clients and 8,000 clients on the books. Departments include customer care, pet care, pet stylists and bathers, and pet chauffeurs. There is an on-site apartment housing a senior staff member to ensure the pets are cared for 24 hours a day. With no advertising in place, word of mouth and recommendations from local veterinarians keep people coming back. The building is perfect for furry friends- featuring ample outdoor space including small pools and room to run.
With pet transportation already in place, expanding this service to include home care for sick animals would be an excellent growth opportunity as well as adding a daycare. Adding behavior and training courses would also be a great way to showcase the facility to owners while they learn new skills with their pet.
