How does it make money?
Pet Wants’ franchise owners sell directly to pet owners through events, their online store, and eventually their retail storefront. Pet owners purchase dog food, treats, and other supplies at strong gross margin.
Who is it for?
Successful Pet Wants’ franchise owners are driven to succeed and passionate about pets and helping pet owners. Business management experience is a plus, but not required. The desire to follow a proven system is the foundation for success. No special knowledge of pet nutrition is required as this is provided as part of onboarding and training.
What would you do as a franchisee?
Market and promote your business within your community, establishing yourself as an expert in pet health and nutrition. Manage relationships with vendors, customers, and community partners to drive more awareness of the Pet Wants brand. Create appealing visual merchandise displays at both events and in retail locations. Mange key performance metrics to make business decisions.
The Winner’s Circle – Franchise Fee Reimbursement Program!
The Winner’s Circle is an incentive-based program that allows new franchise owners the opportunity to gain full franchise fee reimbursement over the first few years of operations. Franchise owners that enroll in the Winner’s Circle program will become eligible for annual payments based upon preset milestones. This program truly incentives our new franchise owners to utilize all of their resources to reach their goals to reach the Winner’s Circle.
“When customers hear about Pet Wants, they’re intrigued by the notion that the food is fresh. I think that the challenge we have is to convince people that fresh is the better way to go. A lot of consumers, they’re very unaware that they do have choices, that fresher food does make a difference.”
