Everyone wants a 7-figure franchise.

But some of the best opportunities in franchising are hiding in plain sight — and getting passed over because of the numbers and the name.

Case in point: A top Pooper Scooper Franchise.

Yes, it's a pet waste removal business. Yes, the name will make you laugh. And yes, it is one of the most overlooked franchise models I've come across.

Here's why I take it seriously: According to their 2024 Item 19, the average franchisee revenue is $400,351. With margins capable of 35%, that's potentially $140,000 in bottom line income!

For context: I owned a Residential Glass Replacement franchise, before I successfully exited in Sept of 2020, we were grossing a little over $1.3 million in revenue (much higher average than most franchisees). Sounds impressive. But averaging around 15% net margin, that's about $195,000 to the bottom line — and working significantly harder to get there.

A Pet Waste Removal franchisee doing average revenue, with average margins, can approach that same net income at a little over a third of the top-line number. With a much simpler operational model.

This is the conversation most franchise buyers never have — because they're chasing revenue headlines instead of net income reality.

The best franchise for you isn't necessarily the one with the biggest average gross. It's the one where the margin, the lifestyle, and the model actually work together.

Pet Waste Management isn't glamorous. But the numbers are. If you're evaluating franchises and you're only looking at $1M+ revenue concepts, reach out to me at The Franchise Advantage, and we'll do the net income math first. You might be surprised what you're overlooking.
