Betsy Bingham is an “accidental franchisee.” At least that’s how she described her path to franchising with pet care and grooming concept Scenthound.

Scenthound, specializing in pet hygiene and wellness services, opened its first franchise location in 2020. The concept reached 150 units in November.

Betsy Bingham opened her first Scenthound unit last December. A year later, she's operating three units with another two on the way for Oregon's Portland area.
