Bark and Brew

Like Reese's candy with chocolate and peanut butter, sometimes some of the most unlikely combinations can ultimately work very well together. This is the idea behind the Muddy Paw Wash & Coffee Bar, a unique franchise opportunity providing a top-notch dog washing service, a retail store filled with plenty of products for your furry friend, and a gourmet coffee bar, serving up hot cappuccinos and cool iced lattes. While the three aspects of the business work very well together, the pet retail section and coffee bar serve to attract their own client base and work well to boost your business by giving you three distinct businesses in one location. With nearly 75 million dogs in the US, many in urban areas, pet boutiques have really started to take off in the last few years and with the unique and diverse business approach taken by Muddy Paw Wash & Coffee Bar, prospective franchisees are poised to take a big piece of this growing market.

While no investment is a guarantee, these franchises show great potential for the first time investor with their broad appeal, low overhead and unique business models. A new business venture requires not only a financial investment, but also a personal investment of time and hard work and an emotional investment of pouring yourself into a business to make it succeed. The best way to guarantee that you'll be able to provide this investment is to consider all of the financial costs required to run the business for at least the first year and secondly, choose a business that excites you. With a business that will make you want to jump out of bed in the morning and go to work, you'll set yourself up for success, and that positive outlook will work it's way down to your employees, your customers and ultimately, your profits.
