Sparkle Grooming Co. Expands Its Reach in St. Louis with New Partner Ventures

Sparkle Grooming Co., the rapidly-growing dog grooming franchise known for its wellness-oriented approach, is thrilled to announce the opening of two new salons in the St. Louis Metro area. The salons will cater to the communities of Brentwood, Webster Groves, Kirkwood, and Sunset Hills, and will be managed by the husband-and-wife team, Roberto and Dana Garcia.

Meet the Garcias: Passionate Entrepreneurs with Tech Know-How

Roberto brings over a decade of expertise in the pet industry, combined with more than 20 years in consumer packaged goods and marketing. His impressive resume includes managing billion-dollar accounts and launching award-winning startups. This solid background makes him ideally suited to spearhead Sparkle's expansion in St. Louis.

Dana complements Roberto's skill set with her own diverse experience that includes community planning and fitness leadership. She has a hands-on familiarity with managing a household filled with pets, as well as skills in real estate, staffing, and customer service. Together, they represent the perfect synergy of business acumen and a heartfelt passion for pet care, aligning perfectly with Sparkle's core values.

Why Sparkle? A Fresh Take on Pet Grooming

The Garcias found a gap in the local pet grooming services, leading them to Sparkle. Like many families, they faced challenges in securing grooming services that were not only transparent but also easy to access and book. Roberto recalls, “Our lightbulb moment occurred when we welcomed our new puppy, Nellie. We struggled to find a groomer who offered straightforward pricing and online booking. Everything felt outdated. That's when we began to look for a better option and discovered Sparkle.”

Dana adds, “I'm eager to introduce this innovative approach to dog grooming in St. Louis. Pet owners here are ready for modern amenities that fit into their busy lives while prioritizing their pets’ wellness.” The Garcia duo is particularly enthusiastic about creating job opportunities for local groomers who seek to work with a company that values their contributions.

Opening Plans and Community Impact

The Garcias plan to launch their first Sparkle salon in 2026 and look forward to becoming an integral part of the St. Louis community. They aim to deliver top-notch pet grooming services that not only cater to pet owners’ needs but also emphasize a healthy lifestyle for dogs. With Sparkle’s Quick-Service Pet Care (QSPC) model, grooming will be efficient, effective, and enjoyable for both pets and their owners.

The franchise's membership-driven approach and compact salon layout, combined with extensive operational support, will enable the Garcias to provide consistent and meaningful care across their new establishments. Sparkle's mission is to redefine everyday pet care by blending grooming with wellness and neighborhood-centric service.
