Crain's Dallas: K9 Resorts Plans for New Throughout Texas

K9 Resorts Daycare and Luxury Hotels recently received an investment for a nation-wide expansion and could be coming to the North Texas region very soon. The hotel, specifically for man's best friend, treats dogs to a stay that includes flat-screen televisions, a swimming pool and other five-star amenities.

According to Crains' Dallas , the company is looking for two or three franchises in the area as part of the nation-wide plans, said Jason Parker who is co-owner and co-CEO. The company also has plans to expand to Houston, Florida and California.

"We've been talking to people and there has been a lot of interest," Parker said. "If all goes well, we should be open by the end of the year."

K9 Resort locations are about 7,000 square feet indoors and an additional 3,000-4,000 square feet with outdoor play areas. The company ideally would like one franchisees for all three locations but will accept individual owners too.
