Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
a year and half
What is your primary product or service?
Self Serve Dog Wash and Grooming
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Rescued Ginger 3 years ago and found giving her a bath was the pits having to bend over. Discovered Costa Mesa did not have this type of service and decided it would be a great service to offer our neighbors in Costa Mesa and opened the first Self Serve Dog Wash here.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Spent a year going to Dog Washes/Grooming shops up and down California washing Ginger. Noted what made it enjoyable and the experience as easy as possible and what shops were not so enjoyable. Discovered some dog washes chose to save money by using regular bath tubs and raising them up verses investing in professional dog grooming tubs. Not only was it easier to wash Ginger, we noticed several safety details that were built into the design of pro groom tubs. We are "selling" an easier way to wash your dog, using professional grooming tubs sets above and beyond other dog washes, and we show the steps to do it safely.
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
One location so far, but very franchisable!
