Number of units
Aussie Pet Mobile had 76 total units in 2024, of which 76 were franchised-owned and 0 company-owned.
Aussie Pet Mobile offers an extensive training program designed to equip franchisees and their staff with the skills and knowledge required to operate effectively. Below is a structured overview of the main training components provided:
Initial Business Training: Provided upon payment of the Initial Franchise Fee, this is available for up to two individuals—one of whom must have an equity stake in the franchise. The training covers essential business operations and includes access to proprietary manuals.
Basic Groomer Training: The franchisor provides this training for one experienced groomer designated by the franchisee. It is delivered by a qualified franchisee and supported with a $1,000 travel voucher from the franchisor.
Ongoing Groomer Training: Arranged for new groomer employees, this training is also conducted by approved franchisees. A training fee, specified in the manual, applies.
Staff Training Responsibility: The franchisee is responsible for training all staff, using company-approved materials and trainers. If a Level 2 or Level 3 trainer is employed, they may conduct internal staff training without incurring additional fees.
Territory Protection
Aussie Pet Mobile provides each franchisee with a designated Protected Territory, defined by U.S. postal ZIP codes and typically comprising at least 33,000 households. Within this area, the franchisor agrees not to operate or license any other business using its system and marks.
Franchisees are protected from direct competition by other Aussie Pet Mobile businesses in their territory, including from company-owned units, provided they remain in good standing.
However, this protection has limitations. The franchisor reserves the right to operate outside of the franchisee’s territory and to distribute products or services through alternative channels, including the internet and third-party partnerships, even within the Protected Territory.
