Bark & Fitz stores are ideal for major and secondary markets across Canada. Convenient-to-shop retail, combines with a strong emphasis on service, friendliness and core product knowledge. Most stores offer grooming services with a complement of between 1 – 4 “breed cut” groomers. We do not sell pets. Store sizes typically range from 600 sq ft to 2,000 sq ft depending on the area. Bark & Fitz is ideal for the individual with a strong pet background and a desire to seek a career in the pet industry. Stores are stand-alone and require a full time commitment. Stores and setup are almost turnkey with the Franchisee playing a significant role in the process. The ideal candidate will live the experience, interact with their community and be actively involved in the industry. Passion for pets and great customer service are key to this opportunity.
