A love of animals shows in every aspect of Sydnee’s Pet Grooming (home of the Furry Facial), a franchise that helps to create a healthy and stylish life for your pet. With natural products and passionate and committed stylists, Sydnee’s strives to treat clients, pets and community like family. That’s why this month we are featuring Sydnee’s Pet Grooming.
Why Pet Grooming
American Pet Products Association (APPA) predicts that the pet industry is styled for continued growth in 2015, showing an all-time high in consumer spending. Expected to reach $60.5 billion in 2015. The pet services sector, which includes pet grooming, will reach revenues of over $5.24 billion this year and is the fastest growing sector within the industry.
Why Sydnee’s
As a family owned company, Sydnee’s is committed to animals, employees, community, quality, customer service and good business ethics. At Sydnee’s, the commitment to employing the best stylists in the business results in the best care for your pets. Kim and Nat have committed the last 15 years to developing the top stylist training programs in the pet care industry, resulting in not just a job, but a career path for the employees and an industry leading staff retention rate of more than 85 percent. This commitment also extends to the way they pamper your pets. They developed all-natural products such as the best-selling Furry Facial, and the salon’s cleanliness and knowledge of your pet’s health and well-being brings customers back again and again.
Nat and Kimberly Srisark began building Sydnee’s Pet Grooming in San Marcos, CA. After growing it into a multi-million dollar business, they decided to franchise the concept in late 2014.
Ideal Candidate
Financially qualified, business savvy, confident, creative and self-motivated. Has a genuine love and compassion for animals. Caring towards employees and the community. Ability and desire to follow operational systems. Do not need to have grooming experience, but be willing to hire and develop a master groomer. As an alternative, lower your employee costs and become the master groomer yourself through their thorough training program. They will show you how to hire and recruit your other groomers.
Risks and Rewards
As an emerging brand (i.e. less than 20 franchises) there may be less infrastructure and systems than there would be in a more established brand. The benefits can sometimes be greater control over your operations, as well as often more favorable terms than would be available later. With newer brands you can sometimes negotiate for larger territories, and other minor concessions that won’t be made to future franchisees. Also prime territories are still available, and you will likely have at least some input into the future growth and direction of the company.
Costs
The approximate cost (all in – including franchise fee) for a grooming salon is $240K including 6 months working capital, or less if you start with a mobile operation.
