National dog grooming franchise network surges past 220 locations with strong demand and expansion momentum

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA — March 2026: Jim’s Dog Wash, one of the fastest-growing divisions within the Jim’s Group, has reached a major milestone, surpassing 220 mobile dog wash and grooming franchisees operating across Australia and New Zealand.

The continued expansion reflects booming demand for convenient, at-home dog grooming services, with the division experiencing massive volumes of unserviced leads each month across multiple territories. The brand is now actively seeking new franchisees to help meet customer demand and support ongoing growth.

Over the past 12 months alone, Jim’s Dog Wash has welcomed a significant number of new franchisees into the network, with further growth forecast throughout 2026 and beyond as the division continues to expand into underserved regions.

Jim’s Dog Wash operates under the broader Jim’s Group umbrella, one of the largest and most recognised franchise organisations in Australia, with more than 5,700 franchisees across a wide range of service industries.

“We’re seeing unprecedented demand for our services right across Australia and New Zealand,” said Sharon Connell, a senior representative of Jim’s Dog Wash.

“In many areas, there are simply not enough operators to keep up with customer enquiries. That creates a huge opportunity for new franchisees to step into an established system with work already waiting.”

Jim’s Dog Wash has built a strong reputation for delivering professional, reliable and convenient dog grooming services directly to customers’ homes via fully equipped mobile trailers. The model appeals to both customers and franchisees, combining flexibility with strong earning potential.

Franchisees provide a wide range of services, including:

• Hydrobathing and full dog grooming
• De-shedding treatments
• Nail clipping and hygiene services
• Flea and tick treatments
• Breed-specific grooming
• Regular maintenance schedules

The division’s success has been driven by a combination of strong brand recognition, proven systems, and a focus on ongoing support and training for franchise owners.

New franchisees benefit from comprehensive onboarding, including hands-on training, business education, and ongoing mentoring, as well as access to national marketing campaigns and a steady stream of customer leads.

“One of the biggest advantages of joining Jim’s Dog Wash is that you’re not starting from scratch,” Sharon added.

“You’re stepping into a system that’s been refined over decades, with strong brand trust and consistent customer demand already in place.”

The mobile nature of the business also provides franchisees with a flexible lifestyle, allowing them to operate within their local community while building a valuable, saleable business asset over time.

With demand continuing to outpace supply in many regions, Jim’s Dog Wash is positioning itself for further rapid growth, with new territories becoming available across both metropolitan and regional areas.

As pet ownership continues to rise and customers increasingly seek convenient, professional services, the outlook for the division remains exceptionally strong.
