Reme’s Oggi Pets: A Journey of Love, Growth, and Transition
Reme Seoane embarked on her grooming career in 1993, culminating in the opening of her first salon, Reme’s Oggi Pets, in 2002. Located in a bustling corner building on 1st Avenue and E. 55th St in the Sutton Place neighborhood of Manhattan, this modest 300 SF space quickly flourished, benefiting from high foot traffic and a high-end clientele.
In 2009, Reme welcomed her longtime friend, Bob Hallisey, as a business partner. Together, they made the pivotal decision to relocate to a more spacious 3,000 SF corner location within the same building, transforming it into a boutique-style haven tailored exclusively for small dogs. Thoughtful renovations crafted an inviting environment that attracted discerning clients seeking quality grooming and daycare services.
Reme’s Oggi Pets blossomed under their stewardship, with grooming services driving about 60% of the business’ success and daycare services contributing the remaining 40%. Adding a unique touch, they also offered a selection of exclusive private label products sourced from Spain, delighting clients and elevating the overall pet pampering experience.
A Commitment to Excellence and Leadership Transition
Over the years, Reme and Bob cultivated an impeccable reputation for exceptional customer care and pet-focused services. In 2023, they promoted a dedicated manager to oversee daily operations, handling staff supervision, grooming standards, scheduling, and training. This strategic move not only streamlined their operations but also allowed Reme and Bob to focus on recruitment, marketing, payroll, and other essential back-office functions.
With the business running smoothly, they began to consider the possibility of selling, confident that their committed team could continue their legacy of quality care. Understanding the importance of choosing the right brokerage for the sale was crucial for Reme and Bob. They knew that having experienced professionals by their side would ensure a smooth transaction and the best possible outcome for their beloved business.
Reflecting on this significant decision, Reme noted, “At the end of the day, preserving our passion for pet care and ensuring a smooth transition for our loyal clients made this journey worthwhile. It was crucial for us to pass on our legacy to the ideal buyer, and we recognized that partnering with the right broker was essential to achieving that goal.”
