Sparkle Grooming Co., the wellness-focused dog grooming franchise, is expanding into Nevada with 13 new licenses as the Chicago regional developer team of Thomas Fitzpatrick and Joel Accathara is making their first strategic move beyond the Midwest.
Joining them on this next phase of growth is Ellen Fitzpatrick, Thomas’s sister, dog lover and a physician.
“Coming from a medical background, I really appreciate how Sparkle’s services are designed with a dog’s full well-being in mind,” said Ellen Fitzpatrick. “As a lifelong dog mama, I’m proud to be part of a company that’s raising the standard for pet care and making it easier for pet parents to keep their pups happy, healthy and. yes, sparkly.”
“Nevada gives us an opportunity to build in another great market outside of Chicago,” said Joel Accathara. “Adding Ellen to the group will accelerate our growth. She’s a professional with great knowledge and enthusiasm. We’re confident this team will thrive in Nevada.”
“Nevada is experiencing high growth in population,” added Thomas Fitzpatrick. “I think Sparkle is perfectly positioned to meet the demand for all pet parents. Las Vegas is one of the most exciting cities in America, and we’re thrilled to add to that excitement with a great solution for dog grooming.”
Since April 2024, Sparkle has awarded a total of 298 licenses across 17 states, and continues to expand rapidly.
