DapperTails Mobile Pet Grooming has officially launched its franchise model nationally, following successful debuts in Orlando and New York City, marking a significant step in the company's expansion within the $160 billion pet care sector. The franchise, known for its luxury mobile dog grooming services, is attracting prospective owners with its groomer-led structure, commitment to quality service, and strong brand identity.
Chris Elias, Co-Founder of DapperTails, emphasized the company's readiness to scale with partners who are eager to lead in pet care innovation. The franchise has seen a surge in demand, with potential franchisees entering second-phase discussions for incentives, including partial franchise fee waivers.
