Despite COVID-19, the brand has proven to be a pandemic-proof business, as it has seen a nearly <a href="https://1851franchise.com/houndstownusa/hounds-town-usa-signs-50th-location-and-leaps-past-2020-goals-2714636#franchisor">30% increase</a> in system-wide occupancy rates. Now, the brand is carrying that momentum into Q2 with plans for even more growth.“Hounds Town USA has seen tremendous momentum in Q1 as we continue to leap past our goals,” said <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackie-bondanza-36ba783/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=hounds-town-usa-sees-dramatic-growth-in-q1-carries-momentum-into-q2-2715585" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Jackie Bondanza</a>, the brand’s president. “I’m excited to see how that growth will carry on into Q2, and we hope to bring even more Hounds Town USA locations to many different U.S. markets by the end of the year.”With more businesses beginning to open up and more people going back to work, the pet boarding industry experienced a significant rise in customer attendance in Q1. <a href="https://1851franchise.com/houndstownusa">Hounds Town USA</a> was no exception, with the signings of 10 new locations in Q1 to meet customer demand and a proven business model that has set the franchise up for success in 2021.<h4>Hounds Town USA Picks Up Franchise Development with Multi-Unit Deals and Corporate Growth</h4>Hounds Town USA’s large-scale success can be partially attributed to the franchisee growth it has seen in 2021 thus far. The brand signed four three-unit deals between January and March and has several franchisees who have started the process for opening their second store, including its current Bergen County and Island Park owners. At this rate, the brand is well on its way to seeing even more accelerated growth throughout the rest of the year, hoping to add another 20 to 25 locations in 2021, which would create another 175 jobs.“Hounds Town USA was really the one and only franchise I looked into after I saw an ad,” said recent signee and Round Rock owner Chris Duncan. “I was extremely impressed with the founder’s background and felt like he really had something to offer to the industry. His experience differentiates the type of service that Hounds Town USA provides in the marketplace, and that’s exactly what I was looking for. The President Jackie and the rest of the corporate team just blew me away with their knowledge, and I like to work alongside people who are smarter than me. When you’re making big business decisions, you never want to be the smartest person in the room.”The brand’s growth has also created new career opportunities within its corporate team. Hounds Town USA will be expanding its corporate team by approximately 70% this year, and has just hired a new Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Assistant Operations Manager to help streamline the brand’s operational strategy and support explosive expansion.&nbsp;<h4>How Hounds Town USA’s Pandemic-Proof Model Led To an Increase in Revenue From Q4 2020 to Q1 2021</h4>Doggie daycare facilities have proven to be essential businesses during quarantine, with many new customers flocking to locations as the work from home dynamic proves challenging to manage. Hounds Town USA remained open during lockdowns, with franchise owners taking necessary precautions to ensure the safety of employees and customers alike while providing a high-quality pet care experience.As the country settled in with stay-at-home orders and shutdowns, dog adoptions increased and people spent more time with their pets at home. Homeowners quickly realized, though, that balancing remote work and the entertainment of your pet is next to impossible.That’s where Hounds Town USA came in.“Dog owners across the country — especially those with young puppies — are looking for a place to bring their pups to help them exert a lot of energy and socialize,” said Bondanza. “That time spent at daycare can be critical for the owner’s relationship with their dog”Throughout the pandemic, Hounds Town USA stores continued to open to meet the demand for pet daycare services. New locations opened at a 75% higher evaluation rate in 2020 than stores that opened in 2019. Overall, the brand saw a systemwide year-over-year increase of 30% in dog occupancy rates and shows no signs of slowing down that momentum in the months to come.The overall investment to open a Hounds Town USA ranges from $265,800 to $492,500 and includes a one-time franchise fee of $45,000 for a single unit.
