Dog grooming business for sale! A franchise dog grooming and retail business located in East Austin offers an exceptional opportunity for potential buyers. Established in 2019 by the current owner. It provides a range of high-end pet grooming services alongside retail offerings such as in-house baked goods, premium dog food, and treats.
Situated in a prime East Austin location, the business is surrounded by a vibrant community of young professionals, with entertainment, retail, corporate offices, and upscale housing all nearby. The 1,518 sq. ft. facility is well-organized, with 40% of the space dedicated to retail and 60% allocated for grooming services. The primary customer base consists of women aged 25-41, predominantly without children.
Despite competition in the East and Central Austin markets, this business sets itself apart by targeting the high-end market segment. Grooming services are priced above average, and the retail section offers high-quality products, with competitive pricing achieved through private label partnerships. The grooming team is highly experienced, with more than half of the staff having over 10 years of expertise in the industry.
Marketing is largely driven by word-of-mouth, supported by an SEO-optimized online presence through a third-party service, as well as automated review requests via the POS system. Events drive retail revenue significantly. The business also has a minimal presence on social media. There is substantial potential for growth through increased social media engagement and other marketing efforts. Additionally, revenue could be expanded by hiring more groomers to ensure all grooming stations are fully utilized throughout the week.
The owner actively manages the business by choice, working 25-30 hours per week from Saturday to Monday, overseeing front desk operations, baking, and ice cream making. All employees are expected to remain after the sale, and a manager could replace the owner if needed. With the current owner pursuing new career opportunities, this is an excellent chance for a new owner to take over a growing and established dog grooming franchise in the thriving East Austin area.
