Rapidly Growing Pet Care Franchise Fuels Expansion with 13-Unit Deal in Nevada

Sparkle Grooming Co., the wellness-focused dog grooming franchise, is thrilled to announce its expansion into Nevada. The Chicago regional developer team of Thomas Fitzpatrick and Joel Accathara is expanding its multi-market portfolio with 13 new licenses in Nevada, their first strategic move beyond the Midwest. Joining them on this next phase of growth is Ellen Fitzpatrick, Thomas’s sister, who brings a fresh perspective and deep passion for pet care to the pack.

Ellen, a physician with a passion for caring for both two- and four-legged friends, brings a strong background in caregiving, teaching and a naturally “sparkling” personality to her new role. A lifelong dog lover and dedicated “dog mama,” Ellen is eager to channel her passion for wellness and high-quality care into the pet grooming industry.

All three partners shared their excitement about Sparkle’s next chapter in Nevada:

“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.”

With this expansion, Sparkle Grooming Co. continues to build momentum, bringing its mission of consistent, safe, quality grooming and exceptional care to more communities across the U.S.

Since April 2024, Sparkle has awarded a total of 298 licenses across 17 states and continues to expand rapidly. Interested in joining the pack? Learn more here.
