Angela and Andy Harrelson, former multi-unit McDonald's operators with four decades of experience, are expanding into dog wellness with a six-unit Scenthound agreement in South Carolina and Georgia.
The husband-and-wife team signed to develop three locations in Augusta, Georgia, and three in the Columbia, South Carolina-area. Their first Scenter is scheduled to open in March at 7320 Broad River Road in Irmo, South Carolina.
The Harrelsons spent 40 years with McDonald's, operating at multiple levels within the system. Angela grew up working in her father's McDonald's restaurant before eventually taking it over. Andy began working for the brand as a teenager and later served six years in the National Guard before building a long career in restaurant operations.
The couple decided to invest in Scenthound after experiencing the brand firsthand as customers.
"Our dog's health and happiness have improved so much since our first visit to Scenthound," Angela said. "Seeing the impact firsthand made us realize this is a brand that really makes a difference on a pet's well-being, and we wanted to be a part of it. We're excited to bring the same high standard of care to other dogs and their families."
The Harrelsons plan to build their Scenters with a strong focus on community engagement. They are exploring partnerships with local shelters and rescues to support pet adoption efforts while providing routine hygiene and wellness services.
"Angela and Andy bring a level of experience and purpose that strengthens our entire network," said Josh Lyon, chief operations officer of Scenthound. "Their deep roots in business ownership and genuine passion for pet wellness reflect what we value in our franchise partners. We're thrilled to support their growth and continue expanding Scenthound's impact across the Southeast."
