With an increased focus on the comfort, health and care of man&#8217;s best friend, <a href="http://www.k9resorts.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=k-9-resorts-daycare-luxury-hotel-secures-multi-million-dollar-investment-for-expansion-3606" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">K-9 Resorts Daycare &amp; Luxury Hotel (K-9 Resorts)</a>, the award-winning daycare and luxury boarding franchise system for dogs, has partnered with private equity firm <a href="http://www.navigatorpartners.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=k-9-resorts-daycare-luxury-hotel-secures-multi-million-dollar-investment-for-expansion-3606" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Navigator Partners, LLC</a> for a multi-million dollar investment to fuel the brand&#8217;s expansion. &#8220;Navigator Partners is extremely excited to announce our investment and partnership with K-9 Resorts because we have a focus on the franchising industry and consider the pet industry to be one of the fastest growing unbranded franchise segments today,&#8221; said Bill Stewart, Managing Partner of Navigator Partners, LLC. &#8220;We are excited to partner with the Parkers in building K-9 Resorts as it is the leading franchise system in the luxury pet boarding and daycare business, so we believe this is an excellent investment opportunity. We have a truly long-term investment time horizon because we do not invest out of a structured fund, thus we are looking forward to a partnership with the Parkers and K-9 Resorts much longer than that of a typical investment fund&#8217;s three to five year time horizon.&#8221; New Jersey based Navigator Partners, LLC&#8217;s principals are investors in several major, successful, franchise systems including Smashburger and FirstLight* HomeCare Franchising, LLC. Navigator Partners, LLC looks forward to partnering with the Parkers to accelerate the growth of the K-9 Resorts franchise system through its investment, significant minority ownership and active participation on the board of directors. Co-Founders Steven and Jason Parker will retain majority ownership of the company and will control the day to day operations; they will also retain 100 percent ownership and control of the flagship location in Fanwood, N.J. K-9 Resorts was represented throughout the deal by the law firm Greenberg Dauber Epstein and Tucker, and Fox Rothschild represented Navigator Partners, LLC. &#8220;We&#8217;ve spent the last five years establishing the K-9 Resorts brand as a franchise, awarding and opening locations and perfecting our system,&#8221; said Jason Parker, Co-Founder and Co-CEO of K-9 Resorts. &#8220;That&#8217;s why we couldn&#8217;t be happier to announce our partnership with Navigator Partners, LLC so we can now grow quickly across the country. Our well-defined system and commitment to making our franchisees successful is ideal for the growing pet industry marketplace.&#8221; K-9 Resorts is currently the No. 1 rated boarding facility in New Jersey and rated in the top three in the country. Leveraging its founders&#8217; 17 years of experience in the pet care industry, the brand has an impressive track record of customer service and pet pampering. <s></s> K-9 Resorts is also excited to announce that their long time franchise consultant and franchise industry expert, Steve Beagelman, will become a partner in connection with this deal. Beagelman, Founder of SMB Franchise Advisors, helped launch K-9 Resorts into franchising in 2011. &#8220;K-9 Resorts has grown into a brand with unlimited potential,&#8221; commented Beagelman. &#8220;I am confident that with Navigator Partners&#8217; support, the next chapter for K-9 will certainly be a successful one. I&#8217;ve seen and worked with hundreds of franchise brands during my tenure in the franchise industry, and the K-9 opportunity for potential franchisees really stands out as they continue to develop.&#8221; Now, the brand&#8217;s founders have their sights set outside the Garden State, with plans to open 80 new locations over the next five years happily housing hundreds of thousands of happy dogs. &#8220;There&#8217;s an immense amount of development potential in the pet services industry, and we&#8217;re primed to capitalize on the accelerated market growth,&#8221; said Steven Parker, K-9 Resorts Co-Founder and Co-CEO with his brother Jason. &#8220;We wanted to grow the right way and have proven that our franchisees can be successful being a part of the premier dog boarding hotel in the industry.&#8221;
