About the Business
This is an established boutique dog grooming salon located in the heart of St Leonards on Sydney's Lower North Shore. The salon specialises in professional grooming services for dogs up to 17kg, with all current revenue generated from grooming. While the business has built its reputation solely on grooming, there is excellent scope for a new owner to expand services into complementary areas, such as doggy daycare, retail, or other pet services, creating multiple new income streams.
The salon has a local and growing client base, with customers who genuinely value the quality of care and service provided. Many of them are highly engaged in local community groups and frequently recommend the salon on popular Facebook community pages, ensuring a steady stream of new client inquiries and word-of-mouth referrals.
What makes this opportunity truly unique is its prime location. Situated within easy walking distance for local residents, and 200m to new Crows Nest Metro station, this is a rare chance to own a pet business in such a tightly held area of Sydney’s Lower North Shore. The salon is surrounded by high-rise apartment blocks, where pets are welcome, providing a large and convenient client base. With excellent foot traffic from nearby cafes, supermarkets, and hairdressers, the business enjoys strong visibility and accessibility. Notably, the salon has never needed to rely on advertising to attract new customers, but, during its early days, limited advertising campaigns delivered excellent results – suggesting huge untapped marketing potential.
This is also a secure and promising investment. The salon is already profitable with plenty of room for growth. The current owners have not expanded in the past year due only to illness, leaving significant opportunity for a new owner to take the business forward. An owner-operator could further increase profitability, as savings on wage expenses would directly boost margins. The convenient location and established reputation also make it easy to attract and retain quality staff.
Additional features add to the appeal, including an underground parking space for the owner, and an upstairs area currently used as a staff recreation room, which could be repurposed into a small dog daycare or retail space if desired.
With its strong foundation, outstanding reputation, and prime Lower North Shore location, this salon represents a rare turn-key opportunity for someone looking to take over a well-loved and established business with unlimited growth potential.
History
The salon was established in 2022, with 3 years of financials available.
