Orange County - Aussie Pet Mobile, the world’s
largest mobile pet groomer on wheels, is on the move to
Ontario.
The company known for pampering pets in its solar powered Aussie
Pet Mobile Mercedes Sprinter Vans, today announced it will expand
its operations east, with plans to open more than 25 units in
Ontario during the next two years. Spearheading the brand’s growth
is Richard Avis, president of Aussie Pet Mobile, who during the
past 12 months, also substantially increased the brand’s
‘paw-print’ in Vancouver.
“Investors are starting to realize the huge demand for professional
mobile pet grooming services in Canada,” said Avis. “The Aussie Pet
Mobile franchise system is growing rapidly with sophisticated
franchise investors wanting to capitalize on the $6 billion pet
industry. Our sustainable business model provides all the tools a
new owner needs to get started, and we look forward to bringing
this opportunity to potential investors in Ontario, as well as our
convenient service to local pets and their owners.”
Aussie Pet Mobile has experienced robust growth in Canada since
announcing the company’s initial development plans for Vancouver in
early 2010. Later that year, Aussie Pet Mobile announced that it
had inked three new multi-unit franchise agreements during a 30-day
period, a deal that increased the company’s presence to serve more
than 1.25 million Canadians and their pets throughout Mid Vancouver
Island, Vancouver West, North Vancouver, West Vancouver and the
Tri-Cities.
Overall company expansion plans include opening new 100 mobile pet
grooming units across Canada during the next five years.
A scalable business requiring no commitment to real estate or
retail shop leases, the Aussie Pet Mobile franchise fee starts at
$29,000 and requires a minimum of $73,000 in capital for a
single-unit operation. A multi-unit option is also available for
franchise investors interested in purchasing several vans within
their exclusive territory.
“Our franchise owners are finding tremendous value in committing to
a larger territory right from the start, allowing them to build the
business as their client base grows said Avis. “Aussie Pet Mobile
has an option that fits well with many of our potential investors’
wants and needs when it comes to owning their own business.”
The convenient mobile pet grooming service offers one-on-one
attention in an inviting and relaxing atmosphere not typically
found in storefront grooming locations. The Aussie Pet Mobile, a
custom-designed Mercedes Benz Sprinter van fully self-contained
with air conditioning, heat, electricity, and water, relies on no
outside electrical or water hookups, making the unique service easy
for apartment or condo residents as well as homeowners. The van’s
ramp and spacious interior help pets maneuver easily and enhance
the groomer’s ability to ensure all of the pets’ needs are met.
Aussie Pet Mobile is also an avid user of eco-friendly products,
which turn the grey water into an environmentally friendly
composition, easily dispersed through natural resources versus a
sewer or septic tank.
“With today’s busy lifestyle, the demand for premium quality,
convenient mobile pet grooming service is already high and on the
rise,” added Avis. “Pet owners understand the importance of having
their pet regularly groomed to keep them clean and healthy. On the
other hand, they all know very well how time consuming the process
can be. Aussie Pet Mobile takes away the hassle and adds some extra
free time to their day, most importantly it reduces the stress of
the pet being in unfamiliar surroundings.”
