Pet Butler Sells Dallas-Fort Worth Franchises

San Antonio Business Journal:

Pet Butler, which provides pet waste cleanup and removal services, has sold its Dallas-Fort Worth area company-owned franchise territories to Bartonville businessman Mark Hamel for $1.2 million.

Frisco-based Pet Butler said founder Matt “Red” Boswell sold his individual franchise territories to focus on corporate initiatives and growing the company’s franchise operations throughout North America.

Pet Butler’s Dallas-Fort Worth operation is the company’s largest, cleaning up after 5,000 dogs each week. With the sale of the Dallas-Fort Worth territories, it now has 127 independently owned franchise territories in 27 states.

Boswell founded Pet Butler in the Dallas-Fort Worth area in 1998. The company launched its franchising operation in 2005.
“This sale is exciting for us as a company, but bittersweet to me personally,” said Boswell. “However, it’s now time for someone else to take responsibility for its well being and expansion.”
