Barkefellers Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

Pets are part of the family. A pet care brand to consider is Barkafellers. The brand was established by Rick and Christi Coffey, who desired to open an upscale pet hotel in Indianapolis and and have a passion for providing the best of the best for both pets and pet owners. As longtime pet owners always seeking the best for their own pampered pets, they saw that something was missing in the marketplace. The couple traveled across the country to visit upscale pet care facilities and took notes. From there, Barkafellers was born. As the first business location grew, Rick and Christi — along with their son, Jordan, and daughter Krista, expanded the business into two more locations. With those additional locations, the Barkefellers family continued to see success with loyal and happy customers. After the success of three locations in a single city, Indianapolis, the Coffey family knew it was time to bring Barkefellers to the rest of the country through franchise opportunities and are seeking franchise partners.
There's no other pet franchise concept that includes the expansive outdoor play, potty, and activity areas that dogs love and that Barkefellers is known for. With over 43 years of experience in the commercial cleaning industry, the founders of Barkefellers were uniquely equipped to develop a comprehensive cleaning system that could handle the needs of a busy pet hotel. This advanced system ensures pet-safe, hospital-grade sanitization throughout the facilities. Ideal candidates are passionate about animals and are good around their owners.

When evaluating a franchise opportunity, reading and understanding the current version of their FDD is a necessity. Considering the benefits of franchising, such as established brand recognition and support from the franchisor, it's important to also take into account franchise fees and franchising royalty fees. Since most franchisors are privately owned companies, the current versions of their FDDs are typically not available unless requested directly from them.
