Kroopin's Poopin Scoopin is on track to hit $250,000 in revenue for 2024, according to financial documents reviewed by CNBC Make It. Still, Krupin enrolled in a couple of general courses at Schoolcraft College, a community college in Livonia, Michigan at the insistence of well-meaning friends and teachers."Nothing stuck," she says.
Krupin spent about $1,000 on initial supplies — a children's gardening rake, trash bags, gloves, a dust pan and disinfectant — as well as an LLC, business insurance, a website domain, a cargo trailer and hitch for her car. She took poop scooping appointments in the mornings and evenings after her shifts at the hospital, tapping her husband, Joshua, for the occasional assist.
