With Franchise Update Media's #MUFC2024 coming up in about 3 weeks, I think it's about time we take a peek under the hood of how multi-unit operators will react to different industries this year. First up? The space that keeps Sherri Fishman, CFE's favorite child healthy, pet services. People tend to gravitate to what they love when looking for refuge. As MUMBOs look for less complex businesses to operate, they naturally think of a business that takes care of a member of their family (and it sure helps most pet services businesses have FANTASTIC EBITDA margins). This year, #MUFC2024 will be boasting pet services brands like Central Bark USA, Dogdrop, Dogtopia, Pet Evolution, Scenthound, Camp Bow Wow, Salty Dawg Pet Salon + Bakery, Zoom Room Dog Training and Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming in and around the trade show floor! My take? With the post-COVID explosion of pet adoption, professionalized management flocking to the space, macroeconomic pressures hurting the F&B space and the average life-time value of a dog parent going up as ancillary services become more available; bet on these people being among the busiest next month. Excited to see what I have to say about other spaces in relation to multi-unit ownership? Follow along here, listen to Ryan Hicks, CFE/myself at Modrn Business or check me out on X at @ZackFishman 😎 And now...the REAL reason you'll follow any of those things! Yeah, being a model like Jake Fishman and Brad Fishman runs in the family 🐶
