DALLAS, Texas&nbsp;—&nbsp;<a href="https://www.petbarinc.com/franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=petbar-10-year-anniversary-q3-growth-franchise-2730539" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">petbar</a>, the rapidly growing boutique dog grooming franchise, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with another record quarter of growth.Founded by husband-and-wife team&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/dan-o-loughlin-b6a6b911a/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=petbar-10-year-anniversary-q3-growth-franchise-2730539" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Dan</a> and<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashley-wible-o-loughlin-b889831b/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=petbar-10-year-anniversary-q3-growth-franchise-2730539" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"> Ashley O’Loughlin</a> in 2014,&nbsp;<a href="https://1851franchise.com/petbar/info">petbar</a> has transformed from a single neighborhood boutique in Highland Park, Texas, into a national franchise recognized for its community-driven culture, modern design and recurring revenue model.“The 10 years really flew by — it’s hard to believe it’s been a decade,” Ashley said. “We are very excited to celebrate it, and we are doing a storefront reveal of our lobby refresh. We’ve already rolled it out in a few other stores, but this felt like the perfect time to showcase the new look and feel. It really reflects our brand’s joyful, community-based personality.”Dan, who spent the early years refining petbar’s operational systems before launching franchising in 2021, reflected on how far the brand has come. “For the first six years, we were just trying to develop the brand and get the systems and operations in place. The self-wash component, the grooming and the membership program — it was all about building something special,” he said. “Now, seeing franchisees thriving across the country is incredibly rewarding. We love helping other entrepreneurs pursue their own business.”In Q3 2025, petbar saw continued momentum in both new signings and existing franchisee growth.“We are in a ramp-up stage right now, where we are getting comfortable and seeing real traction,” said Chief Development Officer&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregg-koffler-a55b5833/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=petbar-10-year-anniversary-q3-growth-franchise-2730539" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Gregg Koffler</a>. “We signed a two-unit deal in Austin, and had an existing franchisee in Texas sign a lease for their second location. We also have franchisees in Phoenix and San Antonio actively searching for additional sites. These are the kinds of milestones we love to see — franchisees growing their footprint and new owners joining the brand.”Beyond development, petbar continued its strong tradition of giving back. “We partnered with&nbsp;<a href="https://salvagedsoulspetrescue.org/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=petbar-10-year-anniversary-q3-growth-franchise-2730539" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Salvaged Souls Pet Rescue</a> and hosted an event that raised over $8,000 for the charity,” Koffler said. “That’s the kind of impact we strive for. We support local causes that align with our culture of caring for animals and communities.”As the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/us-pet-grooming-services-market-report?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=petbar-10-year-anniversary-q3-growth-franchise-2730539" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$2-billion-plus U.S. pet grooming industry</a> continues to expand, petbar’s simple, efficient and scalable model stands out for its focus on recurring memberships and ease of operations.“The pet care space is an exciting space to be in right now as a franchisor and franchisee,” Koffler said. “Our differentiation — the ability to wash your own pet, our subscription model and our focus on strictly bathing and grooming — really sets us apart. We’re not retail heavy, and that simplicity allows franchisees to focus on what matters most: the customer experience. We see tremendous potential for growth in the years to come.”With 32 locations open and more under development, petbar is poised for continued expansion across Texas, Arizona, Florida and the Carolinas. “We’d like to sign two to three more franchise agreements before the end of the year,” Koffler said. “Texas is our home market, but our foundation is strong, and we’re ready to keep growing responsibly.”For Dan and Ashley, the next decade is about balancing that growth with authenticity. “We want to grow as far and as fast as possible — but responsibly,” Dan said. “We’ve seen brands expand too quickly and lose what made them special. That’s not who we are. We’re building something for the long haul.”Learn more about owning a petbar franchise:<a href="https://www.petbarinc.com/franchise/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=petbar-10-year-anniversary-q3-growth-franchise-2730539" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">&nbsp;https://www.petbarinc.com/franchise/</a>.About petbarpetbar is a boutique pet grooming and self-service dog wash franchise founded in Dallas by husband-and-wife team Dan and Ashley O’Loughlin.
