Wag N Wash is a small pet services franchise offering self-service pet washing, professional grooming, and pet retail in a small format store. The system has 23 franchised units and 6 company-owned units as of December 2024. The franchise fee is $49,900 with total investment ranging from $521K to $1.4M. The royalty structure is unique, starting at 2% for the first 12 months, increasing to 3% for months 13-24, then 4% thereafter. The system shows strong unit economics with average gross sales of $1.3M and 64% gross margins. However, the parent company Franchise Group filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 2024, which presents significant risk. The franchise requires full-time owner involvement and offers protected (non-exclusive) territories. Initial training is 80+ hours of hands-on training at a designated location.
