Just months after reaching its 200th license, Sparkle's growth trajectory continues to accelerate. The brand's innovative Quick-Service Pet Care (QSPC) model is attracting multi-unit operators, seasoned investors, and first-time franchisees alike. Each is drawn to a concept built for scalability, community impact, and long-term value.

"We didn't just set out to open grooming salons. We set out to fix a broken industry," said Joe Aeppli, Co-Founder and COO. "Hitting 300 licenses in just 15 months isn't luck. It's validation. Pet parents want better. Groomers deserve better. And franchisees are looking for a smarter way forward. Sparkle is that way."

A Model Built for Momentum

Sparkle's explosive growth is no coincidence. It's the result of a franchise model built for performance and scale. Key advantages include:

• Membership-based revenue that creates predictable, recurring income and drives long-term client loyalty
  
  
• Wellness-focused grooming experiences that differentiate the brand and meet rising demand for elevated pet care
  
  
• Streamlined, tech-enabled operations that simplify staffing and make multi-unit growth more efficient, even in challenging labor markets

Sparkle is attracting experienced operators from complementary sectors like health and wellness, beauty, and QSR, as these industries recognize the value of membership-driven models. With strategic expansion underway across the Midwest, Mountain West, and Southeast, the brand is solidifying its position as the category-defining name in routine pet care. Backed by decades of franchising and pet care expertise, Sparkle's leadership is focused on building a network of passionate owners committed to delivering a better grooming experience.

"This milestone isn't just about expansion; it's about opportunity," said Ben Crawford, Co-Founder and CEO. "Every new license represents a scalable and high-demand business in a growing market. It is a model where owners can build real equity, groomers can thrive, and dogs receive the care they deserve. That is what makes Sparkle different."
