The Champion: Doggie daycare center will be first of the franchise in Georgia

According to The Champion, Michelle Eason is set to open her Hounds Town USA in mid-March in Stone Mountain, GA with plans to serve the DeKalb-Gwinnett, Stone Mountain, and Tucker areas. She believes her target customer will be people who don’t want to leave their dogs home alone all day. “I know what that’s like. I worked in the insurance business for 26 years,” she told the publication. “I love having dogs, dogs make me feel good, but I want the dogs to have a good life too- to be able to spend their days running and playing with people who love dogs and with other dogs.”

Eason’s franchise location is a remodeled 8,300-square-foot school divided into playrooms, grooming spaces, and even luxury suites, a distinction between Hounds Town USA and other pet boarding businesses that helps dogs with separation anxiety. The room separation is also used to divide pups by size and activity level to keep them happy all day long.

As soon as she learned about Hounds Town USA, Eason knew it was her shot to fulfill her dreams of opening a safe and loving environment for dogs. Despite being an experienced business owner, she reported to The Champion that Hounds Town USA has supported her as a first-time franchisee every step of the way, and she is thrilled to be able to offer her services to residents of the Stone Mountain community.
