Own Your Own PET DEPOT® Franchise
Helping people care for their pets is a great way to earn a living!
If you love animals and enjoy working with people, a retail pet business could be the perfect franchise opportunity for you. Pet food is an evergreen industry, offering stability and customer loyalty to the specialty pet food retailer. Year in and year out, customers typically return every 2-6 weeks to purchase more of their pets’ favorite brands.
Nearly 60% of all U.S. households include at least one pet. In fact, pets are the fastest growing segment of the population in the U.S.A. Specialty pet foods are a significant and growing portion of the market, and 43% of customers buying specialty foods purchase them at specialty pet stores like PET DEPOT®.
Be part of our national expansion!
PET DEPOT® is growing and offers you an exciting opportunity to join our successful retail program with a choice of franchising options:
- Area developer, affording you exclusive rights to develop PET DEPOT® store locations over a specific geographic area.
- Franchisee, for those who’d like to own their own single store.
What do I get with my PET DEPOT® franchise?
A PET DEPOT® franchise is a turnkey business that includes site assistance, store design, fixtures, inventory, computers and software for administration and selling, working capital and a comprehensive store identity package, including guidelines for store signage, private label pet products under the PET DEPOT® brand, a customized PET DEPOT® logo that includes your name, and much more. With this cohesive store brand image, you’ll have the professional look of a much larger pet store chain, but with the personalized attention and service that only a small, dedicated business can offer. By joining the PET DEPOT® team, you’ll be able to take advantage of co-op buying power, advertising support, chain-wide consumer specials and promotions, and brand support from product manufacturers and distributors.
In addition you’ll receive extensive training for two people on how to run and manage your new business. Everything from administration and employees to retailing techniques is covered to help make you a real “pet expert”.
A big difference that sets a PET DEPOT® franchise apart is that YOUR NAME IS ON IT! It’s your investment and your future. We help guide you through the build-out process, store design and training to insure that your business in the pet industry is a successful one.
Compare the difference: pride of ownership
Your success is our goal. We do not profit on the build-out of your store, nor do we force you to buy an array of expensive private label products that enrich our corporate bank accounts while depleting yours. Our goal is to keep your costs down so that your business stays fiscally fit and able to compete. You’ll own your own business, but you won’t be in business alone.
