The Pet Pantry - delivering new life

How’s business
treating you?

By C. Wade Webster

In Life, what provides more meaning than having a family that adores and supports you … a work environment you look forward to everyday; one you are compensated for a job well done … a small business opportunity that provides you both revenue rewards, few employees and inventory hassles, and an ability to enjoy … your Life … after the work day is complete? This scenario is, unfortunately, only a dream for most … unless you happen to own a Pet Pantry franchise.

The Pet Pantry system was custom tailored to provide you these essential life ingredients. How, you ask? Firstly, from a professional and passionate corporate staff that actually cares about their franchises. Secondly, by providing a sound business model that enables you to profit from an ever-expanding, $10 billion, recession-proof pet food market (animals love to eat). Thirdly, we offer an all-cash business with minimal overhead and exposure. And, naturally, since we do business specifically with pet owners, who love their pets, our market lends itself to a consumer friendly clientele.

The typical Pet Pantry franchisee bought our franchise because they too thought, and believe to this day, that our business model was simply the greatest concept since the advent of … well, you get the picture. Whenever you provide a proven market with quality foods, competitive prices, and unparalled service, you are bound to discover success. Particularly if you are the type of person that enjoys, in our case, pets … Life … and have a desire to work hard to succeed. The Pet Pantry could be just the Life you are looking for.

Our business model was specifically designed to meet the ever-growing demand for quality dog and cat food, which represents 40% of all U.S. consumer purchases in this $10 billion trade. Not only do our All-Natural, premium pet food products satisfy these requirements, but are also delivered to our customers directly to their homes in a very unique way. And without the need for a retail storefront to lure, and maintain, its customers. It is a simple business, designed to stay that way. It's Life made simple.

Pet Pantry territories are determined, and protected by, zip codes. A single territory, for instance, will provide you upwards of 60,000 households to market (or 130,000 plus population base). Having defined a territory, consider the following: nationwide, 51% of homeowners have a dog or cat; minimum gross margin on profit for all Pet Pantry products is 47%; we offer cost-competitive prices for a broad line of highly marketable dog and cat foods; our system is an all-cash business that offers a low cost of doing business; and, you can work in a friendly, fairly stress-free business environment that as few as one can operate efficiently … well, now you can clearly see why our franchise is so appealing. We will even provide you with 500 customers during your start-up phase.

Simply put, The Pet Pantry is truly a unique business that has limited competition, yet unlimited customers, with plans to help you realize what you want out of Life. We are currently in 20 states, and expanding rapidly, with multiple territories available throughout the United States. We have also recently made Master License Agreements available: primarily in Canada, and parts of South America, Europe and Asia.
