WASHINGTON D.C. —&nbsp;<a href="https://scoopsoldiersfranchise.com/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=scoop-soldiers-opens-in-washington-dc-giving-franchisees-the-chance-invest-in-an-enhanced-franchise-territory-2722798" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scoop Soldiers</a>, the pet waste removal franchise that aims to help pet owners and their four-legged friends by taking on the dirty work of pet ownership, has opened for business in Washington, D.C. Recognized as&nbsp;1 of the Top 150 New &amp; Emerging franchises by Entrepreneur Magazine,&nbsp;the opening comes as Scoop Soldiers continues to grow around the United States as the global market for pet-related services is expected to reach&nbsp;<a href="https://petkeen.com/pet-industry-statistics-trends/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=scoop-soldiers-opens-in-washington-dc-giving-franchisees-the-chance-invest-in-an-enhanced-franchise-territory-2722798" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">$350 billion by 2027</a>.&nbsp;With the opening of this well-positioned Scoop Soldiers location, pet parents in Washington, D.C.&nbsp;will get a much needed break from the unpleasant but necessary dirty work of cleaning up after their canine companions. Pet waste removal services are available for residential and pet-friendly commercial clients such as apartment complexes, pet care centers, hotels and more. Clients can opt for service packages that range from three visits per week to a one-time cleanup for a special event.&nbsp;“We’re thrilled to be open for business in Washington, D.C.,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ejmccoy/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=scoop-soldiers-opens-in-washington-dc-giving-franchisees-the-chance-invest-in-an-enhanced-franchise-territory-2722798" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">EJ McCoy</a>, Co-Founder of Scoop Soldiers. “The market is seeing some major growth, with a new influx of families and young professionals relocating to the area. With the demand for pet-related services at an all time high, the time has never been better to join the Scoop Soldiers system.”This Washington D.C. corporate opening gives prospective franchisees the opportunity to franchise in the market through the brand’s enhanced territory program. Enhanced territories give franchisees the chance to open where a corporate operation has already developed and built up an established client base in the market. The corporate team seeds the market with clients and builds name recognition so that when an interested franchisee comes along, they aren’t having to start from scratch.“Corporate operations are going to be the opportunities for enhanced territories for franchisees three months down the line and beyond,” said&nbsp;<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-oaks-39396612/?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=scoop-soldiers-opens-in-washington-dc-giving-franchisees-the-chance-invest-in-an-enhanced-franchise-territory-2722798" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Scott Oaks</a>, VP of Franchise Development at Scoop Soldiers. “Because we have a unique offering of a traditional startup, where we might not have been in a market before, our corporate operations are a big part of seeding those places. It gives us that credibility that we know the market works and there’s a demand for those services.”Scoop Soldiers decided to open the corporate location in Washington, D.C. in the beginning of 2023. The franchise strategically chose the market based on demographics and market research.&nbsp;“A big driver was the recent increase in population,” said Oaks. “Demographics rising means new people who are looking for new services. If they’re moving from somewhere else, they might have been getting these services in a previous market. We also have some core demographics that we look for from income and homeowner standpoints that D.C. fit really well.”&nbsp;&nbsp;The Washington, D.C. opening augments Scoop Soldiers' established growth plan to be coast to coast in 2023, and with that goal in mind, the brand looks to attract new franchisees in target markets such as Seattle, North Carolina and Salt Lake City, Utah.&nbsp;“The demand for services in pet waste removal has significantly increased — people want their time back,” offered McCoy. “People are putting a value on time like I’ve never seen before, and the Scoop Soldiers team is ready to reach even more customers so they can spend time with their family and friends.”&nbsp;About Scoop Soldiers:Scoop Soldiers was established in 2010 to give pet parents a break from the dirty work of cleaning up after their pets. Not only does Scoop Soldiers help to keep yards clean, but it also saves clients’ time.
