GARDEN CENTRES & PET RETAIL
Give dog owners another reason to visit.
Add a convenient wash stop to a dog-friendly shopping trip. A visible position and an easy route from the car park help customers make it part of their visit.

Make it easy to find from the car park
Make your wash visible with entrance signage and a clear route from parking. An outdoor position can avoid bringing a wet dog through the shop; an indoor area needs a suitable route and cleaning plan.
Connect it to the wider visit
Let shoppers know the service exists at pet-care displays and online. Complement the service with relevant pet-care products, and track wash income and retail sales separately to understand the contribution of each.
Fit care into your team’s routine
Agree which team checks the bay and refills supplies, including busy weekends. Estimate cleaning time and include it in the operating budget. Ask regular customers what would make the service convenient for them.
