Mobile Dog Grooming Bus – Asset Only

Business Description

Step into the growing pet-care industry with a fully equipped mobile dog grooming bus designed by groomers who understand what it takes to work efficiently on the road. This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced groomer ready to become an owner-operator, an established grooming business looking to add mobile services, or an entrepreneur seeking a lower-overhead alternative to a traditional brick-and-mortar salon.

 

Built by Groomers, for Groomers

Unlike many mobile grooming vans where space is at a premium, this bus was thoughtfully built out by groomers, for groomers, with functionality, workflow and space in mind. The larger interior provides plenty of room to work comfortably, along with the ability to accommodate multiple dogs in the bus at the same time – creating flexibility for scheduling, households with multiple pets and a more efficient grooming day.

 

The 2010 Ford E350 Eldorado currently has approximately 178,000 miles and has been well maintained.

 

A new exterior wrap is included in the $39,900 sales price, allowing the buyer to rebrand the bus for their own business with a fresh, professional look.

 

Strong Earning Potential

The current owners successfully operated the mobile grooming model before transitioning their clients into a brick-and-mortar location.

Historical operating experience included:

·        Average service ticket: Approximately $155 before gratuity

·        Average daily volume: Approximately 5 dogs

·        Optimized capacity: Approximately 6–7 dogs per day

·        Preliminary operating overhead: Approximately $3,000 per month

  • Gross annual revenue: Approximately $220,000 a year

 

At five appointments per day, the historical service model represents approximately $775 in daily service revenue before gratuities. Optimizing routes and scheduling may provide opportunities for increased daily volume.

 

Fully Equipped & Ready for Its Next Owner

The grooming bus includes a substantial professional grooming buildout plus approximately $9,800+ in additional equipment and improvements, including:

·        Generator

·        Two 50-gallon water tanks

·        25-gallon waste tank

·        Electronic grooming table

·        Flying Pig grooming tub

·        K9-2 Mini Double Dryer

·        Double steel cage

·        Water heater and water pump

·        LVP flooring

·        Cabinetry and extensive storage

·        Garage vacuum

·        Generator cable

·        Additional grooming infrastructure and equipment

·        New exterior vehicle wrap included with purchase

 

Opportunity in a Growing Pet-Care Market

Pet owners continue to invest in the health, wellness and convenience of their animals. In addition to professional grooming, the industry is seeing growing interest in preventive-care and wellness products such as supplements and probiotics, specialized fresh and freeze-dried foods, pet-specific fitness and activity trackers, and at-home dental and preventive-care products.

For an entrepreneurial owner-operator, mobile grooming can also provide opportunities to introduce complementary products and services, potentially increasing the value of each customer relationship beyond the grooming appointment, and introducing a membership package rate.

 

An Ideal Owner-Operator Opportunity

Starting a mobile grooming business from scratch can mean sourcing the right vehicle, designing a functional layout, purchasing equipment, installing plumbing and electrical systems, and completing an extensive and costly buildout before serving the first customer. And not knowing the overhead required to operate.

 

Much of that work has already been done.

This bus offers a buyer a purpose-built mobile grooming platform with the space, equipment and infrastructure needed to establish their own brand and customer base.

This is an asset sale only. The sellers have transitioned their existing mobile clients to their brick-and-mortar operation, so no customer list or business goodwill is included in the sale.

 

Asking Price: $39,900 – asset only

(Includes a new exterior wrap customized for the buyer’s branding.)

 

A compelling opportunity for a groomer ready to stop working for someone else’s business and start building their own.”

The pet industry is booming, and the Treasure Valley is an extremely dog friendly area. This mobile grooming bus can easily be added to an existing fleet or become an owner-operator’s dream.

Many mobile grooming and retail grooming locations in the area, however there are typically weeks of waiting before being able to schedule with a groomer.

Grooming bus is spacious and can easily accommodate multiple dogs, was designed by a groomer for groomers with functionality in mind.
