As the pet care industry continues to boom with an increased demand for higher quality nutritional products and services, Pet Wants, the over 140-unit national provider of natural pet food, freshly delivered to customers, along with in store grooming services, is poised for major growth. As a result, more entrepreneurs are signing on to bring a Pet Wants franchise to their community. However, prospective franchisees may often wonder, “How much can I actually make with a Pet Wants franchise?” 

The Revenue Potential of a Pet Wants Franchise

With a minimum cash requirement of $50,000, the total investment of a Pet Wants franchise ranges from $131,350 – $202,500.

“With minimised staffing requirements and an average retail footprint of only 1,000-1,500 square feet, Pet Wants has found the recipe for maximising revenue without sacrificing the key components of your pet’s overall health and wellness” said Walter Lacey, VP of Development for Pet Wants. “We are a boutique offering that takes the time to get to know our customers and their furry family members to ensure the best nutrition solution for a happier and healthier pet” continued Lacey. 

According to the Item 19 in Pet Wants’ 2023 FDD, the average Pet Wants franchise location made $556,000 in gross revenue, and their top quartile locations averaged slightly above $1.1 Million in 2022.  

"If you look at our 2023 FDD, and you look at our average revenues or any quartiles, it has been a significant improvement year-over-year for the last three years,” said DeNita Carani, President of Pet Wants. 

The gross revenue growth, particularly during the challenging economic climate of the pandemic, has been exceptional, Carani says, indicating the resilience and potential of the Pet Wants business model.

It's Not a Lottery Ticket, It's an Investment

While the numbers can be exciting, Lacey points out that it is important to remember that investing in any franchise is not like buying a lottery ticket; it requires active participation, dedication and hard work. 

“The reality of franchising is you are buying into a proven business model. Every franchisee gets the same playbook, levels of support, products and materials, yet some will do better than others,” said Lacey. “The difference is the franchisee mindset and how they operate their business while utilizing these tools and services, — that is going to determine how much money you can make with the franchise. If you have the playbook, yet run a different play, you lessen your likelihood to have a successful franchise.” explained Lacey

Overall, the Pet Wants franchise system is designed for proactive individuals who are passionate about the pet care industry and are willing to invest time and energy into growing their business.

"Our historical revenue performances show us that franchise owners who work the model, are connected to the community and are dedicated to the business, have the opportunity to generate revenues at that top quartile,” said Carani. “It's the same type of people every single year who are in the top quartile. They are following the model, they are dedicated to working the business and they are passionate about the services they are offering their communities."

The total investment necessary to begin operation of a Pet Wants franchise is from $131,350 to $202,500. This includes a total of between $57,500 and $62,500 that must be paid to the franchisor or an affiliate. For more information visit: https://1851franchise.com/petwants.
