Discover the GROOM ecosystem

Daria Gots
Founder of the GROOM Ecosystem

Dear partner, for me this is not just a business, it is my childhood dream. A dream of well-groomed pets that do not suffer from matted fur. A dream of happy owners who happily take their pets for walks and receive enthusiastic looks and compliments like, “What a beautiful dog you have!” And so it happened that in pursuit of my dream, I created the largest grooming network.

Since 2011, we have been creating a culture of pet ownership in Russia, instilling a humane and responsible attitude towards pets. We are developing demand, training specialists, and creating comfortable conditions for dog and cat owners by taking care of their pets' coats.

Today, Groom is an entire ecosystem consisting of 200 grooming salons, a call center, franchising, and grooming academies licensed by the Ministry of Education. The textbook “Encyclopedia of Grooming” has been published, copies of which are stored in the Russian State Library. An innovative production facility for animal cosmetics has been created. We were named “Best Project in the Service Sector” at the 2023 Business Success National Awards.

Our plans are to open 4,000 GROOM salons in 40 countries around the world by 2033. If you love pets and recognize the incredible potential of the grooming niche, we would be delighted to welcome you to our team to help us achieve Groom's ambitious goal!

Denis Chetikov
Director of GROOM

GROOM has long been a global leader in this niche, and our partners can be confident that they will receive maximum support from the management company in any matter related to grooming.

We have hundreds of successfully operating salons, production facilities, and academies behind us, and this entire ecosystem has been created for you. So that you have everything you need for the smooth operation of your salon.

I have spoken at many international events as a speaker, but I have never seen such franchise support from any of our partners. I will be happy to welcome any partner who trusts us, just as hundreds of other partners in different parts of the world have trusted us, allowing us to become the largest successful team, uniting millions of satisfied customers around the world.

We are waiting for you to join our dream team, where together we will continue to create a great story!

Hey, baby 😎.
If you still don't understand who you're dealing with, I can assure you that only here and only to me will all the dogs and cats flock to our salons. 😉

Don't believe me? Then let me break it down for you:

  • I’ll create a stylish, high-converting design tailored to you. After all, we have the best grooming website 🏆 — even top Yandex managers use it as a benchmark. It cost us over 1M RUB 😬.
  • I’ll provide a brand book with proven tools, developed by top 💪 designers. We invested over 0.5M RUB into its creation.
  • I’ll set up ⚙️ all effective channels included in the franchise fee, so you can rank at the top 📈 of search results.

If that's not enough, in addition to me, which is already a lot, there will be a large team of professionals 👨🏻 and 👩‍🦰 who are constantly developing the brand, marketing, the CRM system, searching for the best prices, the call center 👩‍💻, supplying ✂️ and repairing 🪛 equipment, providing support 🫶 in critical situations, selects and trains 🎓 staff, engages in team building, conducts franchisee meetings, and much more ✨

And here’s a team of over 250 people with strong emotional intelligence 🤗 Just look at how many amazing girls there are 😏! After all, you need to work with people you truly love 🥰

Everything I’ve told you so far is bait — but it’s also the pure truth 🤌 Why? Because all girls are like cats 🐱 — very independent creatures. Sexy, if you will. Dogs are completely different. They’re obedient. A cat 🐈 won’t come to you just because you call it — you have to lure it with food 🥩

And I know something else about people. A person who wants nothing is invincible. But if a person has no desires, then they are already dead 💀
