BUSINESS OVERVIEW
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, independently operated free-roaming, cage-free dog grooming business with 15 years of continuous operation in San Marino, California—one of the most affluent residential communities in Los Angeles County.
The business benefits from a loyal, repeat client base, strong neighborhood visibility, and a prime location on a wide, high-traffic thoroughfare with excellent walk-by exposure and free customer parking. The seller is exiting solely due to the long commute between home and the business, not due to operational or financial distress.
