Zoomin Groomin is a relatively new franchise opportunity that has been franchised since 2006. The ideal franchisee is a pet groomer looking to leverage the franchise system to support marketing and management. The Zoomin Groomin franchisee runs a grooming salon and pet spa right out of his home. Therefore, it is clear that the owner must have a sufficient home for this type of activity and experience in this type of work.
Franchise fees for this opportunity range from $10,000 to $20,000 depending on the number of households in the territory. There is an ongoing royalty fee of 6% of gross sales with a minimum of $75 per week. There is also a marketing fee of 3% of the total sales and there is also a minimum weekly requirement for that as well. Startup costs are estimated at $32,000 to $59,000 and third party funding is allowed. New franchisees must have a minimum net worth of $100,000. The company states that a typical initial investment is usually between $32,000 and $35,000.
Zoomin Groomin franchises must be owner-managed. So, if you are looking for a franchise opportunity that can lead to passive income, this may not be for you. Zoomin Groomin offers advertising and marketing programs, training, product purchase discounts, a centralized call center for appointments, financial accounting services, and public relations support. Their support team assists new owners in developing optimal business practices and processes. They promote their “ZipWash” system as proprietary software that can be run from an authorized, qualified vehicle. They also highly tout the benefits of leveraged buying power as a strategic partner of Zoomin Groomin and a member of one of the largest pet grooming services in the country.
