This week, the hosts, and franchise expert Connor Groce break down an intriguing pet services deal: a mobile dog grooming franchise covering all of Long Island, New York. The business generates $2.1M in revenue with a stated $744K EBITDA and is asking $3.2M. It operates 13 fully outfitted grooming vans and serves Nassau and Suffolk counties—no storefront required. As the founding location of the franchise system, it also comes with brand credibility and operational systems built over eight years.

Key Highlights:
- $2.1M revenue, $744K stated EBITDA, $3.2M asking price
- 13 mobile grooming vans serving Long Island territory
- Franchise royalty adjustment likely reduces true cash flow
- Customer loyalty risk tied to individual groomers
- SBA loan likely viable—but franchise approval and bank underwriting matter
