The Dog Stop Franchise Model Overview
The Dog Stop operates indoor/outdoor dog care facilities, typically 4,000 to 10,000 square feet in retail, warehouse or light-industrial space, offering daycare, overnight boarding, grooming, obedience training, dog walking, in-home services and retail food and treats. Revenue is largely recurring, built on regular daycare clients who add boarding, grooming and training. The build-out is the main cost: leasehold improvements, kennels, interior and exterior fencing, turf and grooming equipment put the investment in the mid-six to low-seven figures on leased premises. This is a staffed, seven-day operation with overnight care, so labor management and animal-safety protocols matter as much as marketing. A Designated Owner with at least 10% equity is responsible for the business, and the franchisor may approve a trained General Manager to run day-to-day operations. The system has nearly doubled in three years, from 25 to 46 locations, almost all of the growth franchised; the six affiliate-owned stops are in Pennsylvania and Ohio.
