This is a popular pet grooming salon that has grown by leaps and bounds since its inception in 2004. There are over 865 active clients, 388 of which participate in the Preferred Client Program and schedule an appointment on average once every 6 weeks. The business regularly has over 100 people on the waiting list, and the owner does not advertise as more loyal clients spread the word to friends and families. Services offered include pet bathing, drying, brushing, hair trimming, nail clipping, flea treatment among other pet grooming services. There are 3 pet groomers and the owner oversees the operations without performing the pet grooming personally. Located in a 300-square-foot space with 3 grooming stations, the business is operating 7 days a week at its maximum capacity. The business is ready to expand into a larger location to accommodate its ever increasing demand.

Facilities: The business is well located in an excellent neighborhood with many loyal clients. The facility contains a retail store and the pet grooming salon, but only the pet grooming portion of the business is for sale. With both the retail and grooming portions growing tremendously, the Seller plans to expand the retail portion into the space currently occupied by the grooming business, so the Buyer can expand the grooming operations into a larger space nearby. The transition will be seamless as most clients book their appointments well in advance.

Competition: There is a long waiting list of clients and sometimes the owner turns away business due to the lack of capacity. This pet grooming salon offers excellent service and rewards clients for being repeat customers, resulting in a very loyal clientele base that advertises for the owner through word-of-mouth. The business is not seasonal and offers steady cash flow year-round.

Growth/Expansion: The current salon has 3 grooming stations but only enough room for 2 groomers to work comfortably. By relocating to a larger facility and fully utilizing the 3 stations, business could increase by 30% with no equipment purchase. With the addition of advertising budget, 2 grooming stations and 1 extra tub, the possibility to double the business is realistic.

Financing: Broker can assist Buyer in obtaining financing.

Support/Training: Negotiable. Seller willing to train to make the transition smooth.

Reason Selling: Seller wishes to expand the retail side of the business.
