Pets Franchises: Highly Popular (and Profitable) 🐶 From pet training, grooming to daycare, it's no surprise that the pets franchises are some of the most popular brands among franchisees and investors nowadays. Indeed, most brands show +25% growth in terms of scale (e.g. locations) over the past 2/3 years. Why is that? Apart the obvious high-growth market (US pet industry is expected to grow at an impressive +5% CAGR over 2024-29) it's also (so far) a very profitable business: many have (operating) profit margins over 15-20%. Here are a few examples: 🐶 Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming   Woof Gang Bakery & Grooming added 58 locations over the past 3 years alone. It is a rapidly expanding franchise in the pet grooming industry, and there's a good reason for that. At $179,000 - $419,000 initial investment yet a $740,000 average revenue and ~15% profit margin, it's a very profitable brand.   • Total locations: 197 in 2023 (+58 in 3 years) • Average revenue: $740,000 (vs. $516,000 for pets franchises)  • Initial investment: $179,000 - $419,000 • Operating profit: 14.5% 🐶 Dogtopia Dogtopia is a dog daycare and boarding franchise offering a safe and interactive environment for dogs to socialize, exercise, and receive care. It's no surprise like most daycare & grooming pet franchises, it also has high profit margins.   • Total locations: 205 in 2023 (vs. 143 2 years ago) • Average revenue: $916,000 (vs. $516,000 vs. pets franchises) • Initial investment: $608,000 - $1,269,000 • Operating profit: 19.0% 🐶 Dog Training Elite Undeniably the leading dog training franchise in the US today, Dog Training Elite has grown from 50 locations to 278 in just 2 years... Again here, no surprises: the initial investment is (only) $159,000 - $186,000 yet profit margins reach 19.2% on average.   • Total franchises: 278 in 2022 (vs. 50 in 2020) • Average revenue: $475,000 (vs. $516,000 for pets franchises) • Initial investment: $159,000 - $186,000 • Operating profit: 19.2%
