CHARLOTTE, N.C. — FranDevCo, a franchise development company specializing in emerging and growth-oriented franchise brands, announces its newest partnership with Scoop Brothers, a leading pet waste removal business based in Charlotte, North Carolina. The addition of the Scoop Brothers brand brings FranDevCo’s attractive portfolio of franchise partnerships to a total of eight brands.

With services that range from regular pet waste removal to more extensive clean-up operations, Scoop Brothers addresses a crucial and often overlooked aspect of pet care and community health.

The company’s customer-first approach resonates with the FranDevCo team and with the communities it works in. Operating under the umbrella of B.Rugged Brands, Scoop Brothers Pet Waste Management is part of entrepreneur Alex Blair’s portfolio of businesses. This venture reflects Alex’s commitment to addressing various environmental and hygiene-related challenges, leveraging his entrepreneurial acumen to fill niche markets with essential services.

“Scoop Brothers is extending the B.Rugged portfolio into a new and important domain,” said Alex Blair, CEO of Scoop Brothers. The pet industry has shown remarkable resilience and growth over the years, and with an increasing number of pet owners seeking such services, the potential for growth in this sector is immense. That is why we sought the support of FranDevCo–to capitalize on this growing market and help potential franchisees realize the value that exists with a Scoop Brothers location.”

The Scoop Brothers franchise model is built on three pillars: simplicity, support, and satisfaction. Its systems and processes are designed for efficiency, making it easier for franchisees to hit the ground running. Franchisees are provided with extensive training, marketing support, and ongoing operational assistance, ensuring they have all the tools and knowledge to succeed.

With practices like secured gate photo confirmation and real-time service updates to customers, Scoop Brothers professionals’ high level of service helps create loyal customers and a steady revenue stream.

B.Rugged Brands also includes the brand RestoPros, a company renowned for its restoration and cleaning services. Owner Alex Blair continues to demonstrate his innovative approach to business, identifying and addressing specific needs within communities. Scoop Brothers Pet Waste Management exemplifies this strategy by offering a specialized service that enhances the quality of life for pet owners and contributes to the overall cleanliness and well-being of the communities it serves.

“We are thrilled to now be a part of the Scoop Brothers’ family, supporting Alex’s aspirations to make it a recognizable brand all across the United States,” said Sung Ohm, CEO and President of FranDevCo. “The success that the Scoop Brothers brand has experienced thus far has been impressive, and we at FranDevCo are eager to build upon that success to help unlock new possibilities for Alex and his team of franchise partners.
