By utilizing simple, cost-effective, and dog friendly materials, Hounds Town USA allows Franchise Owners to open their business starting at only $457,200, much lower than other doggie daycare concepts in the US.
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*!
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.
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.
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.
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%!
Each existing 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.
Although candidates may have never owned a business before, Hounds Town Owners have always had that entrepreneurial drive. A knack for sales and/or management and leading a small team of employees is important.
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.
People who describe themselves as uptight and corporate might not enjoy the Hounds Town culture. Those who are driven toward success without taking themselves too seriously, and are able to share a laugh with their team and customers, could go far as a Hounds Town Franchise Owner
Owners should be excited about getting active in their community by promoting their new business to help reduce euthanization rates, educate the community, and establish dog handling protocols to make local shelters, rescues, and staff safer.
