POOP 911
Poop 911 franchises provide pet waste removal services, operating as a mobile business typically based at the franchisee's home, where owners oversee or perform scooping for residential customers, homeowner associations, apartment complexes, and commercial properties. The business model grants exclusive territories and relies on the franchisor's back-office support, including the BARCS system for billing, administration, routing, and scheduling, allowing franchisees to focus on marketing and servicing accounts. Target markets include pet owners in single-family dwellings and multi-family or commercial properties seeking convenient waste removal.
