Zoom Room Franchise Cost and Requirements for 2024

Background

Zoom Room® is a venture-backed indoor dog training gym with an emphasis on socialization. Our motto: We don't train dogs. We train the people who love them. We appeal strongly to millennials and well-educated active individuals, especially women. Our key revenue streams include dog training classes, socialization events, and retail products. Investment is quite low compared to other pet franchises. A Zoom Room requires a small footprint (under 3000 sq ft), minimal staff (2 people), and may be zoned absolutely anywhere. As clients accompany their dogs at all times, liability is extremely limited. The model's six-figure profitability is driven by passionate loyalty. Clients are retained for years with lifetime spending almost 100x the cost to acquire. Zoom Room boasts more 5-star ratings than any other dog training business in America. Plus a willingness-to-recommend score comparable to the level of Apple or Amazon. Zoom Room works closely with animal rescue and other charitable organizations. It quickly becomes the epicenter of the dog-loving community. You will host countless memorable and well-attended events for responsible dog owners and their pets.
