What Groomers Best does

Groomer's Best, Inc. is a privately held South Dakota corporation that designs and manufactures professional-grade pet grooming and stainless steel utility equipment. Founded in 2004 and operated continuously for over 22 years, the company is headquartered at a single manufacturing facility in Brandon, South Dakota, where all products are fabricated domestically. The portfolio centers on heavy-duty 304 stainless steel bathing tubs (Standard, Elite fully-welded, Walk-Through with lift-and-slide ramp, Walk-In, In-Line, and Mini configurations), grooming tables (Hydraulic, Electric, Low-Profile Electric, and Stationary), modular cage banks and kennels, and commercial utility sinks including the recently launched Rubber Mat Wash Station. Distinctive technical features include fully welded leak-proof Elite construction, strategically welded cost-tier alternatives with double-sealed caulking, foot-operated hydraulic lifts (19" to 39" height adjustment), multi-lock restraint systems, and ADA-compliant variants across the line. A full accessories ecosystem—grooming arms, plumbing kits, floor grates, towel bars, replacement doors, and locking casters—extends the installed base and supports a 3-year warranty on core products.

The company sells direct-to-consumer through its own e-commerce website, phone, and email, and supplements that with a US-wide distributor network (covering 49 states plus DC) and direct enterprise sales into multi-family housing developers, contractors, architects, and veterinarians. Customer segments are diversified: professional grooming salons and veterinary clinics are primary, while pet resorts, multi-family housing developers, commercial cleaning operations (car washes, fleet maintenance), and public-use facilities represent secondary verticals. Pricing is one-time perpetual per unit, ranging from $109 accessories to $4,337 Elite tubs, with BNPL options (Klarna, Affirm, Afterpay) and free shipping to the contiguous 48 states. There is no subscription, recurring, or services revenue model; the entire revenue base is transactional hardware sales, currently expanding through product launches (mobile grooming, Rubber Mat Wash Station), ADA-compliant line extensions, and sub-brand expansion into utility sinks.
