Outstanding Revenue

In 2022, our Average Gross Profit for locations open 5 years or more was $905,531* with an Average Net Operating Income of $438,133*!

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 are closed to the public 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm each day, there is no need for additional staff to speak with customers.

SEMI-ABSENTEE OPTIONS

Because of the simplicity of our business model and the minimal requirements for daily operations; most of our Franchise Owners operate as Semi-Absentee, allowing them to focus on pursuing other passions. In fact, this is a great opportunity for those who would like to run their business as semi-absentee from day one.

CANINE EXPERTISE

Years of experience and knowledge are our greatest competitive edge. Our “Unrivaled Canine Expert” Founder Michael S. Gould has nearly 40 years of direct experience.

RESULTS DRIVEN MARKETING

By cultivating a customer base through Facebook groups, we have seen the average number of new dog evaluations in the first 10 days of opening increase of 133%!

ANIMAL LOVER

Making money is important, but Hounds Town Owners want to feel fulfilled by their new business. Everyone wants to love what they do! Candidates should be passionate about providing the best experience for companion pets and family members.
