Petland Franchise Video
Interested in opening a pet franchise? Petland is one of the biggest franchises in the world market. The following video explains how the Petland franchise model works, as well as the history of the business.
Firstly, if you are interested in working with pets, but have no retail experience, don't worry. "Some of our most successful people have not worked in retail before. What they have is this deep desire to work with animals," says Jim Whitman from Petland's franchise development office. Their love of animals guides them through business.
As for franchisees who have been successful with Petland, they share a few things in common. “They looked around and said, ‘here is a market that has a gap.’ There is a need and they think maybe I can get involved in a business that can fill that need,” Whitman adds.
Petland Chairman Ed Kunzelman grew up in California and witnessed the opening of Disneyland back in 1955. “It so impressed me. What Disney did to the entertainment industry, that same kind of change could be made in the pet industry,” he says, about the opening of Petland.
“The philosophy of the company starts from the very beginning, day one. We always put the animal first,” says Frank Difatta, Petland President.
Petland have a variety of store sizes and they now have their own in-house design team. They use every square inch of the building to assist the franchisee. This is a creative franchise that will do what it can to get your business up and running. Fill out the form below now to find out more information on owning a Petland franchise.
