Zoom Room Soars to New Heights During Pandemic

Zoom Room, the venture-backed indoor dog training gym, has grown since the beginning of the pandemic. In fact, 30 new franchise agreements have quadrupled its footprint within the year.

Zoom Room entered 2020 with nine locations in four states and now has 41 units open or in development across 14 states (15 operational and 26 in the process of opening). By January 2022, Zoom Room expects to have 20 units open and 30 in development for a total of 50 locations.

“The pandemic has accelerated the trend of retail flight while increasing the number of entrepreneurs looking to start a new venture. The pet sector has always fared well even during the most economically challenged times. The recent boom in dog ownership is no exception. We credit our extreme growth curve to astute investors responding well to Zoom Room’s ability to serve the needs of dog owners with a demonstrably profitable business model, thus meriting our brick-and-mortar place in communities across the country,” said Mark Van Wye, CEO of Zoom Room.

Zoom Room offers support to its franchisees, beginning with a dedicated real estate team to identify sites with optimal demographics and assistance navigating business formation and financing. Offering retail zoning and requiring only 2,700 square feet, Zoom Room is replicable, scalable and feasible for any city or suburb.
