What Scoop Soldiers does

Scoop Soldiers is a U.S. pet waste removal franchise company headquartered in McKinney, Texas, founded in 2019. It provides recurring residential and commercial dog waste cleanup services through 40+ franchise locations operating across 36 states. The core offering is subscription-based pooper-scooper service — weekly, bi-weekly, 2x weekly, 3x weekly, or every-two-weeks — performed by uniformed, background-checked technicians who access gated yards using stored combination locks and email customers a photo confirmation of the secured gate after each visit. Add-on modules include a yard deodorizer (starting at $6.99) and a sanitization spray ("Operation Fresh Start") targeting pathogens such as parvovirus, distemper, listeria, MRSA, and E. coli.

The company serves three primary segments: residential homeowners with dogs (primary), property managers and HOAs, and commercial properties such as hotels, dog parks, doggy daycares, and apartment complexes. Commercial engagements include pet waste station installation and maintenance. Pricing is subscription-based for recurring services and one-time/per-event for occasional cleanups; military, veteran, and first-responder discounts of 10% are offered, and new residential customers receive a complimentary first scoop.

Scoop Soldiers' go-to-market is a hybrid franchise-plus-acquisition model. Growth is driven primarily by signing new franchisees via scoopsoldiersfranchise.com, supplemented by acquisitions of established local operators — most recently Dog Waste Management (founded 2001, Cuyahoga County, OH, A+ BBB) in January 2026. This dual engine produced eight new market launches in February 2026 alone, including Chicago, Detroit, Indianapolis, St. Louis, and Cleveland. Revenue streams consist of residential and commercial subscription service fees, one-time cleanup fees, add-on module revenue, and franchise fees plus ongoing royalties from franchisees. Customer acquisition is supported by content marketing, organic social, referral programs, and PR around new market entries.
