Description
This pet grooming business has a long-standing history, having been established in 1991 and located at its current site since inception. It has undergone ownership changes, with the current owner acquiring the business in 2006 after starting as an employee in 2000. The business reached peak annual revenue of $275,000 in 2016 and has developed strong relationships with local veterinarians, although the owner has not actively pursued additional partnerships.
The company offers a range of services, including grooming, boarding, and nail trimming for both dogs and cats, with a unique offering of feline nail trims that sets it apart from competitors. The business experiences cyclical trends, with increased grooming visits during major holidays and a rise in boarding services during travel periods. However, sales typically decline in September due to the busy schedules associated with the end of summer vacations and the start of the school year.
The owner manages various responsibilities, including grooming up to nine dogs daily, handling administrative tasks, and overseeing the general operations of the shop. The clientele consists primarily of repeat customers, including pet owners who pamper their animals and those who frequently board their pets. Long-haired dogs and schnauzers are the most common breeds serviced.
There is notable growth potential for the business through several initiatives. Transitioning to a mobile grooming service can enhance convenience for pet owners, while offering home grooming can appeal to those seeking personalized services. Additionally, establishing a delivery service for pet products and food could create new revenue streams and improve customer satisfaction. These developments present opportunities for the business to diversify its offerings and increase its market presence.
