As the Number One global brand for mobile grooming, Aussie Pet Mobile offers relaxing and pleasurable experiences for pets and the pet parents who love them. The brand’s heated Hydrobath™, innovative mobile design and spacious environment allow for stress-free pampering right in a pet owner’s driveway.
Founded in Australia in 1996, Aussie Pet Mobile established its global headquarters in the U.S. in 1999 and gained traction almost immediately. Today, our franchisees serve hundreds of thousands of dog and cat owners nationwide.
For prospective franchisees, minimal startup costs and low ongoing expenses make the business attractive, manageable, and cash-flow friendly.
When Sam and Lora Gandy were looking for business opportunities, Aussie Pet Mobile shone from the start. “The pet industry is always strong and growing and very consistent. It’s a very steady, reliable industry,” Sam said. “We liked the mobile nature of the business. We liked the fact that we didn’t have to have a storefront.”
The Gandys, whose franchise covers the Fort Worth, Texas area, also valued the company’s business model and collaborative nature. “Aussie Pet Mobile was there to support and help, and guide,” Sam said. “It’s a real nice culture and setup. We really liked the team.”
Sam and Lora started with one van in April 2020 during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. With pet grooming deemed essential and mobile operations offering a safe solution, the virus essentially propelled them. They quickly built a dependable clientele. As a result, they rapidly expanded to four vans as of August 2020.
Aussie Pet Mobile president Leon Feuerberg points out that all franchise areas are protected, allowing for scalable growth and unlimited opportunity. “All our territories are specifically designed so that a franchisee can build up to six to nine vans or more,” he said.
Of all the benefits that Aussie Pet Mobile ownership provides, lifestyle is the biggest perk, Sam Gandy said. “I’m working from home, so I can be with my family. I’ve got greater flexibility.”
Gandy also enjoys growing the business alongside his wife. “My wife and I are doing this together. She’s my partner in this, and I really enjoy that opportunity,” he said.
The Gandys look forward to seeing where the business takes them and growing it to its full potential. Sam believes that having the clear road map and support that corporate provides has made ownership foolproof. He encourages others to take the plunge and revel in the same success.
“All it takes is really getting after it and putting forth the effort, and lots of great things can come of it,” Gandy said. “You’ll see your customers and employees respond. You’ll see lots of happy pets with wagging tails. It’s just a matter of believing in yourself, building a team, and inspiring a little passion with that team. You’ll find that people will love it. People will follow you and grow with you.”
