Industry Leading Dog Boarding and Daycare
Franchise Expands Regional Growth with Seasoned
Entrepreneur
SALT
LAKE CITY, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- K9 Resorts
Luxury Pet Hotel, multi-award-winning luxury boarding and dog
daycare franchise brand, has announced a multi-unit signed
agreement for a location in Omaha,
Nebraska and two in Salt Lake
City, Utah. K9 Resorts is leading the pack among luxury pet
care franchises with more than 165 resorts across 28 states
currently operating or in various stages of development. Pet
boarding is on a trajectory to become a $35.8 billion industry by 2031 with an
expected compound annual growth rate of 6.4%. With
the recent $10M investment from
Partners Pacific Resorts, K9 Resorts is poised to further dominate
the luxury sector of the market.
Spearheading the brand's expansion into Utah and Nebraska is Richard
Stull. As a seasoned franchise professional with over four
decades of experience within the McDonald's system, including roles
as a supervisor and multi-unit franchise owner, Stull brings a
wealth of knowledge in leadership and operations management.
Stull's entrepreneurial journey is driven by a passion for
exceptional customer service and a dedication to excellence. In
finding vast success with McDonald's, combined with his love for
dogs and a desire for new challenges, Stull used his earnings to
invest in K9 Resorts' booming franchise opportunity.
"After decades in the McDonald's system, I felt it was time for
a change and while I wanted to hang up my spatula, I knew I didn't
want to retire," said Stull. "When I was introduced to K9 Resorts
and visited some of the locations, I saw tails wagging as dogs were
coming in and when they were leaving. I knew this was a unique
opportunity to utilize my entrepreneurial drive with a brand that
is positioned for rapid growth."
With his background in leadership positions at McDonald's, Stull
believes that his experience in customer service and operational
management will be invaluable in ensuring the success of his K9
Resorts locations. With site selection currently underway, he plans
to leverage his expertise to create personalized experiences for
pet owners and foster a positive work environment for his team.
"With Richard's impressive track record in the franchise
industry, coupled with his genuine passion for providing
exceptional care and service, he is an ideal franchise partner to
bring into our system," said Jason
Parker, Co-Founder and CEO of K9 Resorts Franchising,
LLC. "We look forward to seeing his positive impact
unfold in the communities he serves as he becomes an integral part
of our mission to provide the highest standards of pet
hospitality."
With development surging across the region, K9 Resorts is
looking for entrepreneurs who are ready to stake their claim in the
pet care industry. With additional territories available in
Utah, including Ogden and St.
George, company leadership has identified the state as a
prime area for growth in addition to several other regions
including New England, the Pacific Northwest, a few in the Mountain
States and throughout California.
According to the IFA's 2024 Economic Outlook Report, the
franchise industry is expected to grow by 1.9% this year. With
personal services maintaining its position as the top industry for
franchise expansion, and the pet services sector being a dominator
of this list, there has never been a more opportune time to join K9
Resorts.
K9 Resorts is actively seeking single and multi-unit owners to
bring luxury pet boarding and daycare to their community. To
