As Hounds Town franchise continues to grow, our focus is on building the leadership, structure, and support required to continue to scale while sustaining our expansion.
Opening 100 locations nationwide marks a shift toward intentional scale, stronger infrastructure, and deeper franchisee support.
Because growth with the right leadership creates opportunity.
A Leadership Move Built for What Comes Next
That’s why we’re welcoming Courtney Allison as Chief Franchise Officer & Integrator.
As we step into our next phase, her role is designed to strengthen how our system performs as we expand beyond 100 locations.
Courtney will lead:
- Systemwide performance
- Cross-functional alignment
- Franchisee support and communication
- Operational consistency across every Town
For franchisees, that translates into what’s important:
Clarity. Structure. Execution.
Built on Experience. Focused on Franchisees.
Courtney brings more than a decade of franchise leadership experience, including her role as Chief Operating Officer at her previous brand, Spavia, where she led operational strategy and systemwide growth.
She’s worked directly with franchisees to:
- Improve unit-level performance
- Streamline operations
- Support multi-unit expansion
That means she understands what it takes to support franchisees at scale.
“Franchising has been at the heart of my career… I look forward to helping franchisees grow while ensuring pets are happy, healthy, and loved.”
Why This Matters for Hounds Town Franchise Prospects
In a dog daycare franchise like Hounds Town—where consistency drives both safety and customer trust—growth is only valuable when it strengthens the operator experience at the unit level.
This move is designed to support that.
By strengthening leadership at the system level, Hounds Town is investing in:
- More streamlined and effective franchisee support
- Clearer operational standards across every location
- Stronger accountability tied to unit-level economics
- A support structure that scales with you
For prospective owners evaluating franchise opportunities, the strength of the leadership team matters. Growth can create opportunity, but only when the systems behind the brand continue to evolve alongside expansion. Investing in leadership helps ensure Hounds Town remains focused on franchisee performance, operational consistency, and long-term support.
The Type of Operator This Model Is Built For
Hounds Town isn’t designed for passive ownership.
It’s built for operators who want to lead.
The right candidates:
- Build and develop individuals and their teams—not just manage tasks
- Care about the culture they’re building as much as performance
- Take ownership and solve problems proactively
- Follow a proven system while bringing grit and consistency
They’re community-driven.
They value structure.
And they’re focused on long-term equity through building an asset.
Even if you’re still developing those leadership skills to manage the next generation of our workforce, our system is built to support that growth through training and ongoing support.
A Model That Continues to Differentiate
At our core, Hounds Town operates uniquely.
We’re built on canine behavior, the way Mother Nature intended.
- Structured pack environments
- All-day interactive play
- No breed discrimination
This creates:
- Fewer behavioral issues
- Better experiences for dogs
- Stronger trust with pet parents
- More consistent operations for Franchisees
It’s a model designed for simplicity, scalability, and repeat demand.
As the Hounds Town franchise system grows, operational support becomes even more important. Strengthening leadership at the corporate level helps ensure franchise owners receive the structure, communication, and consistency needed to operate confidently and scale successfully.
