Skiptown Expands Georgia Footprint Through Continued Franchise Growth

Building on New Multi-Unit Franchise Agreements in Colorado, North Carolina and Texas, Skiptown Seeks Additional Franchise Owners in Georgia

CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Skiptown, the modern, tech-enabled dog care franchise, is building on its established presence in Georgia as it looks to expand its footprint. With an existing location in Atlanta and a growing following among pet parents, Skiptown is seeking franchise owners to bring its all-in-one approach to more communities.

The brand is prioritizing development across a broad area, from Peachtree City in the south, to Athens in the east, up through Woodstock and Buford in the north. For those interested in exploring the franchising opportunity, Skiptown will host a virtual franchise information event on October 20, focused on expansion plans and franchise opportunities in Georgia. Prospective franchise owners interested in learning more about the event can contact Trevor Robinson, Head of Franchise Development at Skiptown, at [email protected].

The brand is already seeing momentum in franchise development, signing a two-unit agreement in North Carolina, with the first location in Pineville set to begin construction soon and open in Q1 2027, as well as a five-unit development agreement in Colorado and a five-unit agreement in Austin. Skiptown's newest franchise owners were already members of its Charlotte and Denver locations, highlighting the strength of the brand's customer experience and the opportunity to grow with Skiptown.

"Georgia is an incredibly exciting market for Skiptown, and our Atlanta corporate unit has given us a strong foundation and following in the state," said Mike Rotondo, CEO of Skiptown. "We've seen how much families love having everything they need under one roof, and we're excited to share that experience with more communities."

Building on its existing presence and brand awareness in the state, Skiptown is seeking franchise owners to bring its modern dog care approach to communities throughout Georgia. The state's continued population and business growth is creating new opportunities, with small businesses accounting for 99.7% of all businesses in Georgia and the state supporting 423 facility expansions and new locations in 2025, representing more than $26.3 billion in investment. As more professionals and families move to the state, demand for high-quality pet care is growing, and Skiptown is positioned to meet it, combining dog daycare, boarding, bathing, grooming, and walking with a tech-enabled experience designed to make booking and communication seamless for pet parents.

Skiptown is passionate about its technology-driven approach to dog care. The brand's proprietary technology helps improve operations for franchise owners while creating a seamless experience for pet parents, from booking and managing services to staying up to date with their pups while they're in Skiptown's care. By combining technology with Skiptown's services, including daycare, overnight boarding, grooming, bathing, and walking, the brand gives franchisees the tools to operate efficiently while giving pet parents a convenient way to connect and stay engaged with their dogs.

Skiptown is open to both single-unit and multi-unit franchise owners. Previous pet industry experience is not required; the brand is seeking entrepreneurs who are passionate about pets and committed to delivering the best experience for both dogs and their owners.

"We're looking for franchise owners who want to build a lasting presence in the communities they serve," said Trevor Robinson, Head of Franchise Development at Skiptown. "The ideal franchisee is someone who wants to be hands-on at Skiptown and grow with our brand that provides the systems, technology, and support to help them succeed."
