Well established mobile dog grooming business in the Houston, Tx area looking to expand based on customer demand. We are seeking an investor who will partner with us to develop a doggie daycare facility that will also offer dog grooming services, overnight boarding and several other services, providing seven revenue streams in total.
About us:
Our mobile dog grooming business is one of the fastest growing grooming businesses in the Houston, TX area. We specialize in mobile pet grooming services. Our business started in 2021. In just 3 years, we’ve grown to 5 grooming vans with 5 groomers actively working. During this time, we have received numerous awards such as “Community Favorite” and “Best Groomer” in several communities we serve.
85% of our customers are re-occurring so there is repeatable business each month. All 5 of our groomers are working 40 hours a week with a 2-week waiting list. Therefore, there is ample amount of potential growth in our current market. With each new grooming van, we are expanding to new communities.
Marketing:
Our business grew mostly through word-of-mouth. As of March 2023, we’ve employed a marketing company to build our SEO and social media presence. With more aggressive marketing, we should see more growth.
Investment Details:
We are looking for an investor to assist us in building out a new doggie hotel, daycare and grooming facility with several other streams of revenue.
Many of our customers are requesting daycare and overnight care services for their fur babies. Therefore, we are looking to capitalize on these opportunities by building out a facility to provide these services.
Being a few miles away from a major airport, there is a great need for overnight care for dogs and cats with a convenient location for speedy drop off.
Plan for Investment:
Purchase a lot of land with a building in place. This could be a warehouse or existing residential home in a business class community. We plan to renovate the building and transition it into a grooming doggie daycare & grooming facility. There are also several additional revenue streams we plan to put in place. The goal is to purchase the facility in the next 2 – 3 months. We calculated that it would be financially beneficial to build out a grooming facility in a business that we know and have thousands of existing clients. This would be considered an expansion to our current business.
Renovation:
Purchase a facility with a residential home or warehouse style facility that only requires a minimal construction build-out. 75% of the build out will be cosmetic. Grooming vans will be stored at this location as well.

As an overall business, we plan to purchase more existing dog grooming businesses in the area to master numerous acquisition roll-ups over the next few years. This includes mobile grooming & store fronts grooming businesses. We plan to add an additional 2 new vans/groomers each year.
Most dog grooming business are “mom & pops” so the industry in very fragmented with a massive potential for successful roll-ups to maximize the growth. We have mastered the business processes in this industry which helps us scale. This makes us a leader in this space. Our vans are built with the latest technologies. We have a personal groom van builder which allows us to buy top of the line vehicles at a fraction of the costs as the average consumer.
