PET WANTS
Pet Wants franchises operate retail stores that sell pet food, supplies, and provide grooming services, while also offering home delivery and shipping options to customers. Franchisees initially provide delivery services from a home office using branded vehicles before opening a permanent retail location within 12 months, targeting dog and cat owners through advertising, referrals from vets and groomers, and events like farmers markets and dog shows. The business model emphasizes fresh, high-quality products stored in climate-controlled warehouses, competing with retail chains, online sellers, and other delivery services.
