Groomer's Choice Acquires Showseason

Groomer's Choice, a prominent company under the Harbour Group umbrella, has made a significant move in the pet care industry by acquiring Showseason Grooming. This strategic acquisition, announced by Jeff Fox, the chairman and CEO of Harbour Group, promises to enhance the product offerings and customer service capabilities of Groomer's Choice.

Located in Tucker, Georgia, Showseason is a well-respected name in the pet grooming sector, known for its top-tier liquid pet coat care products. The company’s extensive product range includes shampoos, conditioners, colognes, ear cleaners, and anti-itch sprays, all of which are favored by professional groomers nationwide. The terms of the acquisition remain undisclosed, but the implications for both companies are bound to be positive.

Jeff Fox expressed excitement over the acquisition, praising the founders, Sandy Gyorgyi and Mike Walker, for their commitment to quality and excellence. Fox said, “Sandy and Mike built an outstanding business with unique, high-quality products, and we are thrilled to add them to the Groomer's Choice product offering. Together, we will be able to serve our customers even better with an enhanced lineup.”

Sandy Gyorgyi, who co-founded Showseason and serves as its president, remarked on the importance of finding the right partner for growth. “We are proud of the company and the loyal following we've established over the last 27 years. It was time to find a partner to expand our reach, and we believe Groomer's Choice is the ideal solution,” she explained.

Adding to that sentiment, Mike Walker, the Operations Manager and co-founder, highlighted the shared values of both companies, particularly in terms of product quality and customer service. “Their team prioritizes the exceptional product quality and high service levels that our distributors and grooming professionals deserve,” Walker stated. He reassured long-term customers that their needs would continue to be met, while also welcoming potential new customers to experience Showseason products for the first time.
