Inside Our Model
A growth machine,
A growth machine,
not a grooming business.
A lean, modern operating model built for the post-retail economy. Three layers — the operations, the revenue, the role — engineered to compress your time-to-cashflow and remove the ceiling on growth.
01 · The Role
You’re the CEO, not the groomer.
Hire trained groomers. Drive the vans through technology. You build the brand, manage the team, and own the territory — an executive role from day one, not another job behind a tub.

01 · The Role
You don’t groom a single dog — you build the business that does.
Vans you run1
2Grooming careers you create
35Pets pampered / week
0Hours you spend grooming
Staffing ~1–2 per van; groomer throughput ~6–8 pets/day (industry). You hire and lead the team — you never pick up the clippers.
02 · Recurring & Defensible
Recurring revenue, not one-and-done.
Pets need grooming every 4–8 weeks for life. That’s a subscription-shaped revenue base — route density compounds and the moat gets deeper every quarter you operate.
02 · Recurring & Defensible
One dog. A decade-plus of standing appointments.
Pick a dog — see its lifetime grooms
135
grooms over its lifetime — a standing appointment every ~5 weeks for ~13 years.
Cadence by coat type & average canine lifespan (industry / AKC guidance). Shows rebook frequency and customer lifespan, not earnings.
03 · A Fleet, Not A Footprint
The top-rated vehicle to deploy capital and scale.
Put your capital to work in a high-leverage, low-overhead model — no real estate, rolling overhead, and a clear path to 5+ vans.* Built for the post-retail economy.

Add vans to build your market — visibility, referrals, and share compound into local dominance.
Each protected territory covers roughly 125,000 people across many ZIP codes. As multi-van density grows, brand awareness and referrals compound into a self-perpetuating customer base that lowers acquisition cost and accelerates growth — with zero added real estate. Illustrative, not a financial performance representation.
Sources & methodology
- Grooming rebook cadence (4–8 weeks by coat type) and resulting lifetime-groom estimates are industry/groomer-association guidance, not Zoomin Groomin-specific data. American Kennel Club (AKC) grooming guidance; National Dog Groomers Association of America (NDGAA).
- Average canine lifespan by breed/size (used to estimate a ~10-year-plus customer relationship) per veterinary and breed-association data. AKC breed lifespan data; American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) pet ownership statistics.
* Figures shown are illustrative of the model and category (rebook cadence, customer lifespan, unit growth) — not guarantees. Per-van gross revenue is disclosed in Item 19 of the FDD; the illustrative figures here are not profit and not a guarantee of your results.

Why Zoomin Groomin
A cut above the pack.
Six reasons owners can’t stop smiling — tap any to see why.
Owners love the brand
Sources & methodology
- Mobile Pet Grooming Service market projected to grow from $1.7B (2025) to $3.1B by 2034 at a 9.0% CAGR, with growth accelerated by post-pandemic convenience demand: Intel Market Research, “Mobile Pet Grooming Service Market Outlook 2026–2034.” Mobile grooming cited at 12–15% annual growth, the fastest-growing segment of the broader pet grooming industry: PetGroomerHub, “Pet Grooming Industry Statistics 2026.”
- Consumer willingness-to-pay premium for sustainable/eco-positioned goods: PwC 2024 Voice of the Consumer Survey — 80% of consumers willing to pay more, ~9.7% average premium across 31 countries. Sustainably-marketed products grow ~2× faster than conventional: NYU Stern Center for Sustainable Business, Sustainable Market Share Index (with Circana data).
- Hands-on, physical, and direct-human-contact work shows the lowest AI applicability/automation exposure of any job category, per Microsoft 2024 workplace research; personal-care services are explicitly listed among the occupational categories least likely to be automated: Forbes, “20 AI-Resistant Careers With The Lowest Automation Risk.”
- U.S. pet industry sales grew through both the 2008 financial crisis (+5.1%, vs. a contracting broader economy) and the 2020 COVID recession (+16.2% pet products/services vs. +4.3% overall U.S. economy): Nasdaq, “The Pet Industry is a Recession-Resistant Category for Investors.” The American Pet Products Association has tracked uninterrupted year-over-year growth in U.S. pet spending since 1988, through multiple recessions.
- Zoomin Groomin termination rate and industry comparison figures are detailed with full sourcing in the “We don’t shed owners” section below.
Third-party industry research cited above reflects category- and sector-wide data — not a financial performance representation of Zoomin Groomin specifically.

Future-Proof By Design
AI can’t touch this. A downturn can’t shake it.

Where the Pet Business is Growing
We’re adding locations faster than any pet-care brand on the board.
From 15 vans in 2023 to 257 today[1] — Zoomin Groomin grew roughly 17× in three years, adding more net-new locations than any pet-care brand we track — while legacy big-box retail closed stores.
Zoomin Groomin · Net-new locations, 2023 → 2025
+1,613%
+242 net-new vans · 15 → 257 · ~17×[1]
What that means
258 vans opened in three years — about 1.9 new vans every week in 2025 alone — in a 100% franchisee-owned system with a 0.4% termination rate. No pet-care brand we track added locations faster.
Net-new locations added, 2023 → 2025
Across the pet industry: mobile and franchised pet brands are expanding fast — while corporate big-box retail closes stores. The 0 line marks no change; bars to its left shrank.

The Takeaway
Mobile and specialty pet care are the fastest-growing corners of the pet industry[2] — and by net-new locations, Zoomin Groomin is the fastest-growing name on the board.
Sources & methodology
- Zoomin Groomin — FDD Item 20, Table 1 (2026 filing, issued 6/24/2026): open & operating franchised vehicles at year-end — 15 (start 2023) → 70 → 169 → 257 (YE2025); 258 vans opened in three years, net change +242. 100% franchisee-owned; ~0.4% termination rate.
- Competitor net-new (marked e) are sourced estimates from public FDD Item 20 filings and franchise trade press, current to Q4 2025: Pet Supplies Plus (franchise retail — +62 stores in 2023 plus ~16–25/yr in 2024–2025; #29 on Entrepreneur Franchise 500, top pet brand 11 yrs); Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming (~200 in 2022 → ~295 in 2025); Scenthound (~71 in 2023 → ~165 operating “Scenters”); Hounds Town USA (FDD Item 20); Woofie’s (Authority Brands; ~95 reported YE2025); Dogtopia (FDD Item 20); Furry Land (Phoenix Franchise Brands; ~35 in 2021 → ~70–100 by 2025). Where brands report units “open or under development,” we use operating units.
- Aussie Pet Mobile (rebranded Bark & Mane, June 2026) is a 30-year legacy brand with ~105 U.S. franchised units; growth is essentially flat over 2023–2025, so it is shown at the zero line. Marketing “450+ vans” counts vans within mature territories, not net-new locations.
- Big-box (declining): Petco closed 25 U.S. stores in 2024 (ending the year at 1,398) and guided to 20–30 more in 2025, down from ~1,430 in FY2022 — a net loss of roughly 50 stores (SEC 8-K/10-K and earnings releases). PetSmart closed ~11 U.S. stores over the period (privately held; otherwise roughly flat).
- Excluded as too new/small to chart: Lucky Dog Mobile Grooming (founded 2023; a licensing model, not a franchise; ~90 vans) and Groombar (a small EarthWise Pet sub-brand). Sources: company FDDs & sites, SEC filings, PRNewswire, Entrepreneur Franchise 500, Franchise Times. Mobile and specialty pet care are widely identified as the fastest-growing service segments; U.S. pet spending rose every year 1994–2023 (APPA).

Why low overhead is the advantage.
With no storefront to lease or build out, the model runs lean and mostly variable. Capital isn’t sunk into real estate — it stays deployable.
Every dollar can compound into vans, routes, and new territory — high leverage per dollar invested, in a cost base that scales with each van you add.
Setting expectations: figures above are typical industry ranges — not Zoomin Groomin-specific costs, revenue, earnings, or a P&L. Royalty and brand-fund figures come from the FDD; all other ranges are illustrative and vary by territory and ramp stage. For franchise-specific financials, see Item 19 of the current FDD.
Sources & methodology
- Mobile pet-grooming price premium of 20–40% over salon services: Grand View Research (2024), Straits Research, and IBISWorld.
- Royalty (8%) and brand-fund (2%) contributions are disclosed in the Zoomin Groomin FDD (Items 5 & 6). Zoomin Groomin makes financial performance representations only in Item 19 of its FDD.
Item 19 · Gross Revenue · 2025
Real revenue. On the record.
The disclosure document now puts actual per-van gross revenue on the table. Here’s the part most people miss: this is a young fleet — 203 of 257 vans opened in the last two years, and the newest 97 aren’t even counted yet. So the system average is a just-getting-started number, while mature vans already sit far higher.
All 145 full-year vans
$171,789
Average gross revenue per van1
Median$170,979
Range$43,593 – $328,889
Met or beat the average71 of 145 (49%)
The ceiling is already visible — the average just hasn’t caught up. The top third of vans average $232,998 in gross revenue, with the single best at $328,889 — while most of the fleet is still in its first or second year on the road.
1 Figures are gross revenues for calendar year 2025 for the 145 Zoomin Groomin vehicles that operated the full year, as disclosed in Item 19 of our current Franchise Disclosure Document. Gross revenue is not profit — it does not reflect costs of sales, operating expenses, or other costs you must deduct to determine net income. Some outlets have earned these amounts; your individual results may differ; there is no assurance you will earn as much. Written substantiation is available upon reasonable request.

A growth vehicle with intrinsic value. Operators stack territories and sister brands into a recurring-revenue portfolio — and many build it as a family, creating something their kids can run, love, and one day inherit.
Family-operatedMost owners run the business as a family — often two generations, side by side.
Pet people, every oneOwners love dogs — and most have their own waiting at home.
Owners, not groomersZero grooming experience needed. You lead the business; certified groomers do the grooming.

Why is Zoomin Groomin considered one of the best pet franchises for sale?
Zoomin Groomin pairs the country’s fastest-growing mobile pet grooming franchise model with the operational firepower of Loyalty Brands — 7 affiliated brands and 200+ years of combined franchise experience. Owners get a top pet franchise opportunity with low overhead, recurring revenue, multi-territory growth, and a centralized marketing and ops engine.
Is this a low-cost pet franchise opportunity?
Yes. Zoomin Groomin is one of the lowest-cost franchise opportunities in the pet category. Total initial investment ranges from $64,974 to $205,400 — with no real-estate buildout and no large day-one staff, which keeps your launch cost low.
Do I need prior pet grooming experience?
No. This is an executive management franchise. You will hire certified groomers to perform the services while you focus on scaling the business, marketing, and managing customer relationships. Whether you've never groomed a pet in your life or you currently run a salon, our training and onboarding adapts to where you're starting from.
Is this a semi-absentee or full-time business?
Both work. Many owners begin as full-time owner-operators to establish the business; others keep their corporate jobs and run Zoomin Groomin semi-absentee by hiring a dedicated manager from day one. The system supports either path.
Do you offer financing?
We do not offer direct financing, but we partner with industry-leading third-party funding specialists to help you secure SBA loans, 401(k) business funding (ROBS), and equipment leasing for your vans.
How does territory protection work?
You are granted a protected, exclusive territory based on a target number of qualified households. Our demographic mapping ensures sufficient high-income density to scale multiple vans within your territory over time.
What ongoing support does Loyalty Brands provide?
Continuous support across operations, marketing, technology, and HR — including ongoing training, lead-generation tools, vendor partnerships, software updates, and a national peer network of fellow owners. Our team has 200+ years of combined franchise experience standing behind you.
