Manager-Run Pet Grooming Salon | Established

Business Overview:

Established Southern Utah pet grooming salon with a long operating history, loyal clientele, experienced staff, and limited owner involvement. Daily operations are overseen by a long-tenured manager who is also the salon’s highest-producing groomer and handles staffing and day-to-day management. The business currently operates with three groomers, two part-time receptionists, and one full-time bather. The salon generated more than $600,000 in revenue during 2025 and offers an established platform for a buyer seeking an operating business with staff and management already in place.

The salon provides professional grooming services for dogs and cats through a well-established storefront, supported by online scheduling, recurring appointments, and a loyal customer base. The business benefits from a long operating history, experienced personnel, strong local name recognition, and systems that allow the owner to focus primarily on oversight rather than daily service delivery.

This opportunity may be a strong fit for a strategic pet-services operator, an experienced groomer ready to own a larger operation, or a business-minded buyer seeking a manager-run company with an established team and meaningful recurring revenue.

Property Features and Assets:

The salon has served Southern Utah for approximately two decades and has developed a recognized local presence with a loyal base of repeat customers.

The current owner acquired the business approximately seven and a half years ago without prior grooming experience and does not personally provide grooming services. Since the acquisition, the salon has continued operating under the leadership of a long-term manager who has been with the business for approximately 18 years.

The manager is also the salon’s highest-producing groomer and has developed a substantial clientele during her tenure. In addition to providing grooming services, she oversees hiring, staffing, customer service, and the salon’s daily operations. This established operating structure has allowed the owner to remain largely hands-off while the manager and grooming team run the business.

Market Competition and Expansion:

The business competes with independent grooming salons, home-based groomers, mobile operators, and national pet-service chains. Its primary advantages include its established commercial location, approximately two decades of operating history, experienced manager, existing grooming team, recurring clientele, and demonstrated ability to operate without the owner performing grooming services.

The long-term manager provides both operational leadership and significant grooming production. Her approximately 18 years with the salon have contributed to strong customer continuity, institutional knowledge, and an established client following.

Building a comparable operation would require a new competitor to secure and build out a suitable location, purchase specialized equipment, recruit and retain qualified groomers, establish operating systems, and develop customer trust over time. This acquisition provides an existing team, recognized local presence, active customer relationships, equipped facility, and operating platform that a buyer can maintain or expand.

The salon currently operates with three groomers, two part-time receptionists, and one full-time bather. The existing facility, grooming tables, and supporting equipment can accommodate approximately six to seven groomers, providing meaningful expansion capacity without requiring an immediate relocation or major buildout.

A new owner could pursue growth by recruiting additional groomers, expanding appointment availability, extending operating hours, or introducing limited Saturday appointments. Additional opportunities may include updated pricing, premium grooming packages, recurring-service or membership programs, stronger customer rebooking procedures, add-on services, and expanded pet-care product sales.

The business recently transitioned to new operating software, and its previous website is no longer active because it was connected to the former platform. Launching a new website integrated with the current scheduling system represents an immediate opportunity to improve online visibility, appointment booking, and customer communication.

Further growth could come from customer reactivation campaigns, referral programs, veterinary and pet-business partnerships, local search optimization, social media marketing, and greater use of the salon’s existing customer database. A strategic operator may also be able to improve margins through shared administration, purchasing, marketing, scheduling, and other operating efficiencies.
