Hounds Town USA Claimed
Hounds Town USA Franchise For Sale
Hounds Town USA is an interactive doggie daycare offering overnight boarding, grooming, and more. We have a significant advantage over other doggie daycare concepts due to the deep knowledge of canine psychology by our Founder, Mike Gould. Hounds Town USA has created facilities with dogs’ true wants and needs in mind, which keeps the buildout simple and inexpensive.
We also give back to the community through Hounds Town Charities, where we offer discounted services to shelter/rescue dogs waiting to be adopted. This concept has a significantly lower investment than other doggie daycare franchises with the ability to run the business as a semi absentee Owner from Day One. With amazing economics and flexible ownership options, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
Business Features
- Lower Investment: By utilizing simple, cost-effective, and dog-friendly materials, Hounds Town USA allows Franchise Owners to open their businesses on average for $800,0003. This investment is significantly lower than other doggie daycare franchises in the country, allowing our Owners to break even sooner and enjoy larger profit margins.
- Outstanding Revenue: In 2023, our Average Gross Profit for locations open 5 years or more was $869,701,with an Average Net Operating Income of $330,402!
- Simple Operations: At Hounds Town, not only is our build-out simple, but running the business is as well! We have fairly low overhead and minimal staffing requirements. Our Owners can run their locations with a 15:1 dog-to-human ratio, and since we recommend our locations to be closed to the public from 12:00PM to 2:00PM each day, there is no need for additional staff to speak with customers, so the staff can focus on daily tasks and cleaning, so there is no need to schedule them beyond the open hours.
- Canine Expertise: Our “Unrivaled Canine Expert,” Founder Michael S. Gould, has almost 40 years of direct canine experience that he passes along to all new Hounds Town Owners. This expertise is evident at Hounds Town in how we’ve modeled our concept after childcare solutions rather than other doggie daycare options.
- Results-Driven Marketing Support: We have developed an omnichannel marketing plan designed specifically to ensure that all new Owners do not have to worry about having customers when they open. With a focus on digital, video, search, and print, we ensure we cast a wide net to dog owners in a targeted radius around each location. We also extend a grand opening offer to all pet parents to drive a high number of evaluations in their first month of opening, then continue with a sustained media approach focusing on all of our core offerings. We also support franchisees in developing a strong local marketing approach to build their confidence in reaching out to community partners and establishing strong relationships!
- Hounds Town Charities: Each Hounds Town USA franchise location has partnered with local charities, rescues, and shelters to offer discounted doggie daycare, boarding, and other services to dogs waiting for their “furever” homes. First and foremost, our company culture is one of strong community outreach and impact.
