Sparkle Grooming Co.: A Revolution in Pet Care
In the bustling realm of pet grooming, one brand is making waves—
Sparkle Grooming Co. Founded in 2022 by visionaries
Ben Crawford and
Joe Aeppli, the company has positioned itself as a game-changer within the $11 billion U.S. pet grooming industry.
When Sparkle Grooming Co. was founded, it wasn't merely about entering the market; the founders had a mission to redefine pet grooming as we know it. Their vision centered around creating a modern, wellness-focused experience that serves pets, their owners, and franchisees alike.
Rapid Expansion
Just two years post-launch, Sparkle Grooming Co. has emerged as one of the fastest-growing franchise brands in the country. The company has awarded approximately
340 licenses in
18 states in less than
18 months, showcasing its strong franchise model that resonates with both pet lovers and business entrepreneurs.
“Every new license represents more than expansion,” said Ben Crawford, CEO. “It's about creating opportunities where pets receive the care they deserve, groomers feel supported, and franchise owners can cultivate a sustainable membership model that fosters predictable earnings.”
Innovative Business Strategy
At the core of Sparkle’s success is its
Quick-Service Pet Care (QSPC) model, which merges salon-quality grooming with a membership-based approach. This innovative model ensures consistent and wellness-oriented care for pets while also establishing reliable revenue streams for its franchise owners.
The structure is designed to be compact and technology-enabled, making operations efficient and appealing to seasoned operators and first-time entrepreneurs alike. “Our goal was never just to open grooming salons,” added Joe Aeppli, COO. “We aimed to enhance an essential service, improving pet care for families and the professionals dedicated to helping them.”
