The official franchising site for the brand (AussiePetMobileFranchising.com) corroborates this, stating that "In 2021, Aussie Pet Mobile was acquired by Home Franchise Concepts®, a leading franchisor in the home services industry, and a subsidiary of the privately owned $24.7 billion company, JM Family Enterprises®."[3] This is a second primary corporate source that both confirms HFC’s acquisition and explicitly identifies JM Family Enterprises as HFC’s parent company.
