Their five revenue streams- self-service wash, full-service grooming, in-house bakery, pet food, and retail section- cater to almost all segments of the $110 billion pet industry!

Features of the business:

1. Innovative Convenience:Pet owners are focused on two things- keeping their animals happy and healthy. Unfortunately, this task can become daunting as products and trends change quickly. Wag N’ Wash, has created a one-stop-shop where owners can have their pets washed and shop for natural and premium pet food along with other retail items.

   2. Service Focused: Wag N’ Wash is a services-based retailer.  This means that unlike other pet retailers who are struggling with the advent of Amazon and Chewy.com, Wag N’ Wash has yet to see a decline in sales due to online competition. While the internet is great for many things, it hasn’t figured out how to wash or groom pets.  Owners benefit from providing services as it brings loyal neighbors who spend more than non services neighbors with higher profit margins.

   3. Smaller initial Investment & operating costs: Compared to other larger names in the pet franchise space, Wag N’ Wash has a smaller initial investment of $296,70 – $960,200.  Wag N’ Wash’s services based and dog-centric model allow owners to limit simplify operations and limit number of skus and team members to manage.

   4. Billion-Dollar Backing: Wag N’ Wash was acquired by Pet Supplies Plus in early 2022.  Pet Supplies Plus is the third largest pet retailer in the nation and has been ranked the #1 Pet Retail Franchise for the last eight years.  Wag N’ Wash now benefits from Pet Supplies Plus’ buying power that comes from over 600 stores, advanced marketing campaigns, supply chain efficiencies, it’s 30+ years of operating success, and best-in-class systems and processes.

   5. Grade-A Territories Available: Wag N’ Wash has availability nationwide, including highly sought-after markets! While some of their competition has sold out prime locations and only has “B” option real estate remaining, Wag N’ Wash has grade-A territories wide open for Owners who are looking to run a fun business in a booming industry!
