Meet Alex Ruester, Owner of Cooper’s Scoopers in Chesapeake, Virginia 🐾💩 — where she’s on a mission to make “p**p scooping” a lot less boring and a lot more loved. ❤️
Alex is passionate about delivering great service, clear communication, and adding those unexpected little touches that make customers smile. 😊
When she’s not building the Chesapeake territory, she’s focused on turning an overlooked industry into something people actually enjoy talking about.
💬 Why Cooper’s Scoopers?
“I love Cooper’s Scoopers because it’s such a unique industry with low overhead, which made it a great opportunity for me as a first-time business owner. What really drew me in, though, was the ability to completely change the way people view a ‘p**p scooping company.’ I enjoy finding ways to surprise customers with great communication, reliability, and little touches they wouldn’t normally expect from this type of service. It’s also unlocked a lot of creativity for me — from branding and marketing to customer experience and community involvement. I’ve realized there are so many ways to build a business that people genuinely enjoy interacting with, even in an industry most people overlook.” 🏡🐶
💬 What does this opportunity mean to you personally?
“Personally, this opportunity has given me more growth, confidence, and fulfillment than I ever expected. 🌱 Learning how to build and run a company has completely changed the way I think. It’s pushed me outside of my comfort zone, shown me what I’m capable of, and unlocked a creative side of me that I didn’t fully realize was there — whether that’s through building a brand people connect with, finding fun ways to market the business, or constantly thinking of new ideas to improve the customer experience. More than anything, it’s given me a sense of freedom, ownership, and excitement about the future that’s incredibly rewarding.” ⭐
