Dogs Are Inn Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

Pets are part of the family. Billions are spent on them annually. A pet lodging alternative brand to consider in order to capitalize on the booming industry is Pets Are Inn franchise. Founded in 1982 when Harry and Kal Sanders-Greenberg discovered that the family dog, Chopin, did not do well when boarded in a kennel, they lodged him with friends but didn't feel comfortable doing that all the time. Thus, Pets Are Inn was born, and its mission is to find individuals who would be willing and excited to care for their pet as one of their own while their owners traveled. The brand's master insurance plan makes it possible for all Franchise Owners to obtain Liability Insurance. Communication through email and our toll free number assures you accessibility with the franchisor, who is committed to your success. You are “on your own” but “not alone” when you join the Pets Are Inn team.
The main advantage of ownership is that there is no inventory, receivables, or payables. Not only does this mean that you do not need to rent storage space, but you also do not have potentially thousands of dollars tied up in costly inventory. The initial investment, which includes a franchise fee of $45,000, will be between $30,000 and $60,000. After signing the franchise agreement, you are scheduled for a one-day Franklin Quest Time Management Seminar in your area and will also receive a count down to training manual. These tasks are designed to be completed within three to four weeks prior to attending training in Minneapolis.
