Aussie Pooch Mobile pet care franchise, Runaway Bay, Gold Coast
How long have you been in franchising?I have been franchising for about two years.
What made you choose franchising as a career option?I chose this option because I love dogs and animals very much and love the outdoors. I just couldn't work in an office, I don't think. And it's an opportunity to be my own boss.
Why did you pick Aussie Pooch Mobile?I chose Aussie Pooch because I frequently saw the trailers out and about. It really struck a chord - the name and logo are awesome.
What is the biggest challenge in your business? The biggest challenge for me? To be honest, I can't say I've really found any challenges yet.
What is the greatest source of enjoyment in your business?The greatest enjoyment for me has to be meeting everybody, making friends - with the dogs and owners. I just love spending all day with puppy dogs.
What do you want to achieve in five years?I would love to grow my business enough to sell off half in five years or even before.
What has most surprised you about franchising?
I was surprised at how much fun it could be doing this – there is really minimal stress.
