December 30, 2008 - Dallas, TX- Hound Mounds pet waste removal service now keeps yards POOP FREE in the Minneapolis-St. Paul Metro area. Hugh Griffin, the new owner of the Hound Mounds franchise in Minneapolis-St. Paul, Minnesota, is excited about his new endeavor cleaning up the city’s hound mounds.

Hound Mounds pooper scooper service is a pet waste cleanup and disposal service meant to provide homeowners with a clean and safe yard. They provide residential service weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, a schedule customized around the homeowner’s specific needs. Hound Mounds also offers commercial cleaning for apartment/condo communities, dog parks and home owner’s associations which can include disinfecting and deodorizing common areas, servicing pet waste stations on the property, and even planning for future dog parks.

Prior to starting Hound Mounds, Griffin was a pilot for Mesa Airlines for 12 years. Raised just outside of Minneapolis, his desire to get back into his community and start a business that would benefit the people of Minneapolis-St. Paul led him to Hound Mounds. “It’s a service people don’t know about, but can benefit from and Hound Mounds makes sense because franchisees get much more for their money than comparable businesses.” Hound Mounds not only offers the resources for marketing and advertising, they also provide the BARCS system. BARCS provides communication tracking with customers at an account level, which schedules and bills customers. When looking at other businesses he felt like there was much more risk due to things such as high investment costs and high percentage royalties. “Hound Mounds made sense with less investment risk and more reward.”

Griffin also has an extensive background in restaurant management which he feels confident is an advantage in owning your own business. “This is a serious business with a funny name that you can have fun with” says Griffin. He goes on to say that “It was a great time for me to own a business and Hound Mounds showed its value as a franchise in a short amount of time.”

Started in 2005, Hound Mounds has franchised in Dallas/Fort Worth, Austin, Denver, and now Minneapolis- St. Paul. Hound Mounds POOP 911 is growing rapidly and has a strong grasp on what it takes to be successful in this industry.
