"Partnering with Mike and adding Missouri to our Sparkle territory was a natural next step," said Rich. "The brand is built on everything I look for: strong unit economics, a modern, repeatable model, and a leadership team that truly supports its operators. We've seen incredible traction in Georgia, and I'm excited to grow our pawprint and bring Sparkle's wellness-first grooming to even more communities."

Now, with an experienced new partner on board, the Missouri expansion is poised for immediate traction.

Klearman, a seasoned franchise operator, brings extensive experience in business development, operations, and team leadership. He spent two decades scaling nationally recognized brands like Massage Envy, where he was a multi-unit owner and Franchisee of the Year, and The Joint Chiropractic, where he co-developed the Missouri region and helped grow it to 23 open locations. With a shared passion for building scalable, service-driven businesses, Rich and Klearman are well-positioned to accelerate Sparkle's growth in the Missouri market.

"We are thrilled to bring everything Sparkle has to offer to the pet parents of Missouri," said Klearman. "People love their dogs like family, and Sparkle gives us the chance to build a business around that kind of love and trust. Having spent years in the franchise world, I know what to look for. Sparkle checks all the boxes… strong concept, simple model, proven systems, and a booming market. The future of this brand is very exciting."

With this new partnership and territory launch, Sparkle Grooming Co. continues to expand its national presence through proven operators who are passionate about modernizing pet care and creating stronger, healthier communities one pup at a time.

Since April 2024, Sparkle has awarded 315 licenses across 17 states and continues to expand rapidly. Interested in joining the pack? Learn more at sparkledogcare.com/franchise.
