About This Video
This video features Sam and Lora Gandy, owners of Bark & Mane in Fort Worth, Texas, reflecting on how far they have come. After investing heavily in their first couple of years, they say they have built the infrastructure and success that now let them step back a little. They describe how different life looked before the franchise. Lora had just left a stressful legal career and Sam came out of the cyclical oil and gas industry, and together they wanted something more stable that would let them be home with their children. The couple explains that the biggest reason they chose the franchise route was the business-in-a-box model and its resources, since neither of them had a grooming background. In the video they praise Home Franchise Concepts and Bark & Mane for balancing independence with support, giving them structure and guidance while letting them build the business their own way. They highlight how well the vans are designed for groomers, an important detail given how valuable good groomers are, and close by describing the chance to make an impact on employees and customers while working together as a family.
