The franchise industry is tricky territory; shifting consumer demands, market competition, and evolving industries are just a few reasons franchise brands struggle to stay alive. According to an article by Entrepreneur, there are ten franchise categories that are predicted to outshine the rest in 2018.
Hounds Town USA, a fully interactive doggy daycare, overnight boarding, and pet spa facility secured a coveted spot on Entrepreneur’s top franchise list; founder Mike Gould started the pet care franchise in 2001, began franchising in 2008, and has grown to six locations with three more set to open by the end of 2018.
