Press Release: Sparkling Paws
Bubbly Paws, a self-service, full-service dog grooming salon, recently announced its latest franchise location in Stuart, Florida, just outside of Jupiter. This is now the fourth franchise location in the works for Bubbly Paws.
“We are thrilled to bring the Bubbly Paws concept to Florida’s Treasure Coast and our franchise owner couldn’t be a better fit for our concept and brand,” said owner and CEO Keith Miller.
The Bubbly Paws location in Stuart, Florida is still in the design phase, but is expected to open in early winter. Bubbly Paws also has franchise locations under development in Charlotte, North Carolina, Dallas, Texas and Long Island, New York. These locations are in addition to four company-owned stores in Minneapolis and one store in Boise, Idaho.
“As this is the franchise’s first year, we couldn’t be happier with the growth we’re seeing. We intentionally created a plan for slow and steady growth and we are on the right track. By the end of 2022, our goal is to have five to seven franchise locations open or under construction,” Miller explained. “One thing that sets us apart is that we’ve been around for 11 years, but we’re new to the franchise space, unlike most new brands that have been launched during the pandemic. We also believe in providing exceptional customer service not only to our customers, but to all of our franchise owners. We are all one team.
Bubbly Paws is a one-of-a-kind concept featuring self-service tubs where dog parents can come in, bathe their dog-kids, and leave the mess behind. Their bright, “bubbly” atmosphere is inspired by elevated barbershops, and with a range of grooming services, guests have a variety of luxury options to choose from.
Miller and his wife, co-owner Patrycia Miller, opened the first Bubbly Paws store in 2011 after growing tired of hair and mess after every bath and brushing their teeth in their own home with their Bernese Mountain Dog, Roxy. The concept was designed to take the headache out of canine grooming for everyone while still maintaining the personal touch at bath time. The Millers were able to open a new location every two years, and their franchising strategic plan was to work hard to perfect their simple but in-demand business model.
