K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel has announced a major joint venture with its largest franchisee, Luxury Pet Hotel Investments, LLC (LPHI), marking a new phase of growth for the premium pet care brand. The 50-50 partnership gives LPHI management control of four key corporate-owned locations in New Jersey and Pennsylvania, excluding the flagship site in Fanwood, NJ. This shift allows K9 Resorts’ corporate team to focus on system-wide growth, innovation, and enhanced franchisee support.
LPHI, which invested $10 million into the brand last year, brings leadership from sectors like hospitality, entertainment, and finance, and currently operates resorts across multiple states. The venture underscores K9 Resorts’ franchisee-first model and sets the stage for national expansion. With more than half of U.S. households owning a dog, demand for high-quality boarding and daycare services is rising. K9 Resorts aims to meet this demand by becoming a household name in luxury pet care through its proven franchise system.
