Always an owner/operator one. Even if they bought a franchise but own it and do grooming as well as hiring groomers to help them if business is that busy.
You don't want to go to a place where someone just owns the place and hires groomers to groom for them. Those places are like Petsmart which you already experienced are not good. There would not be anyone there to train you anyway as no really good groomer would stay there for long, some might for short term to get onto a better shop.
I prefer my own business but not until you get enough training and experience and that takes time.
