This well established pet store and grooming salon offers a full range of services under one roof. Including pet products, professional grooming, and high traffic self-service pet washing stations. This business is located in a high-traffic area and is currently booked 2 months out. The loyal, repeat, and luxury customer base chooses this business over competitors because of the strong reputation that has been built on quality, convenience, and care. This business is fully equipped, clean, and designed for an efficient luxury experience. Currently is owner-operated and runs smoothly with experienced staff. This business is poised to be turned into semi-absentee owner ran business, or a full franchise model. Revenue streams are diversified across multiple streams of income, creating stability and consistent cash flow. The seller is seeking a buyer to take this business over to expand this already well-established cash flowing business. With the growing demand for pet care services, there's potentially significant room to expand this already existing location through e-commerce sales, adding additional staff, or adding additional location. This is a rare chance to step into a profitable, established business in the forever expanding, recession-resistant, pet industry. Inventory not included, to be determined at the time of sale.

Key diligence, valuation, financing, and transition considerations for buyers evaluating pet services acquisitions.
Owners trust a specific person; understand whether clients follow the shop or the individual, and what contracts and non-competes exist.
Boarding and daycare need suitable space and zoning/noise clearance that retail doesn't — confirm the location is compliant and the lease supports the use.
One serious incident or a wave of bad reviews can sink a pet business; look at online reputation, complaints, and liability claims.
Grooming, boarding, and daycare memberships are stickier and higher-margin than product sales — a productive groomer alone can generate $80K–$120K a year. Get the mix.
Skilled groomers and reliable care staff are hard to hire and central to quality; understand pay and turnover.
Many shops are the owner grooming, managing, and greeting clients — know what running it actually requires.
