Fantastic opportunity to take over an established and reputable business in the booming and sought after pet care industry. The business has been established for over 35 years and is well-known in the Northern Virginia market. The primary services offered are: doggy daycare, boarding, and grooming. The business also provides an array of ancillary pet care services and sell popular treats, toys, and pet supplies making this business a one stop shop for pet owners.
The team is well-trained, customer-focused, polite and professional with the animals in their care and their owners. Customers have come to rely on the staff when online pet supply outlets customer support can’t help them with food/behavior/health questions which sets this business apart from competitors. The team takes the time to get to know each dog and owner by name and they keep the dogs safe because they know which dogs play best with each other. They know who needs TLC during overnight stays or grooming appointments, and keep owners informed how their pets are doing when they are in their care.
There is a very loyal and stable customer base with many long standing clients. The business has a great reputation with most of their business coming from word of mouth, referrals from existing customers, and both their online and physical retail presence. There is significant potential for post-pandemic growth. Pet groomers have been in short supply in recent years, so there is an opportunity to hire and train groomers as they are in demand. The company puts their doggy daycare staff through over 10 hours of online training and on the job training. The business is fully licensed and insured, and they use a lower dog to staff ratio to elevate and ensure the quality of the care and services they provide. The current lease expires in the fall of 2022, so a future owner will have the ability to negotiate a new, long term lease.
