Description

Business Summary:

Excellent opportunity to own an established pet grooming and specialty retail business located in eastern Loudoun County and serving the surrounding community. The business is known for providing high‑quality grooming services, friendly customer experience, and a clean, professionally managed environment. The primary services include: full‑service grooming, nail trims, specialty baths, and curated pet retail including treats, supplements, accessories, and seasonal products. Customers appreciate the commitment to reliable scheduling, custom appointment service, and the personalized care their pets receive. The groomers are experienced, detail‑oriented, and trusted by long‑term clients who value consistency and quality.

The business stands out in the community due to a strong brand identity, prime location, and reputation for being dependable, welcoming, and easy to work with. The team maintains a clean, organized shop that reflects professionalism and care. The retail selection complements grooming services, allowing customers to conveniently purchase high‑quality products during their visit.

The business serves an affluent, pet‑focused demographic in Northern Virginia and the area continues to grow rapidly, increasing demand for grooming services. The past 3 years average (2023-2025) showed $898,615 in revenue with about $96,694 in owner operated cash flow and 2026 is trending within about 5% of those numbers. The vendors include well‑known pet supply distributors, ensuring consistent access to quality retail products. The business is supported by a small, reliable team and streamlined operations that make it easy for a new owner to step in. With strong community recognition and a loyal customer base, the business is positioned as a reputable, trusted grooming business with significant room for growth through expanded services, marketing, and increased grooming capacity.

Description of Facilities:

The business operates out of a 2,300 square foot retail space in a well-known retail shopping center. The space is leased for $9818/month and the current lease expires on January 31, 2029 and there are 2 - 5 year extension options available.

Competition:

There is standard competition for the industry and market. The competitive advantage for this business comes from their high‑quality grooming team, strong repeat clientele, and a dual model of grooming + curated retail, which most competitors do not offer together. The business has been able to thrive and differentiate themselves through:

-Established reputation with long‑term, loyal customers
-Consistent grooming quality and experienced groomers
-Premium retail selection that complements grooming services
-Clean, organized, professionally run environment
-Fast turnaround times and reliable scheduling
-Strong brand identity that customers recognize and trust

While other grooming shops exist in the area, this business is known for being dependable, friendly, and professionally managed, which keeps customers returning every 4–8 weeks. This creates a stable, recurring revenue base that sets them apart from many typical grooming-only competitors or retail pet care businesses.

Growth & Expansion:

There are several ways for a new owner to consider growing and expanding the business. High‑impact growth opportunities include:

-Increase grooming capacity by adding another groomer or expanding grooming hours to meet demand.
-Boost marketing and advertising efforts, especially through Google reviews, local SEO, and targeted social media to attract new clients and create awareness about the business to new residents.

There is also room to expand retail offerings with more high‑margin products such as treats, supplements, and accessories that complement grooming services. A new owner may also wish to
introduce add‑on grooming services (teeth brushing, de‑shedding packages, spa upgrades) to increase average ticket value. There are opportunities to partner with local pet businesses (vets, trainers, pet sitters) for cross‑promotion and referral traffic. The implementation of membership or loyalty programs to increase repeat visits and stabilize monthly revenue is feasible along with
improving online booking/ automation to streamline scheduling and reduce no‑shows. There are opportunities to host local community events (adoption days, pet photo days) to increase visibility and foot traffic.

These ideas represent straightforward, realistic ways to grow revenue quickly as the business is well‑positioned for expansion due to its strong location, established brand, and loyal grooming clientele.
