Pet Wants, the over 140-unit national provider of pet food freshly delivered to customers, is quickly becoming a household name for pet owners and franchise professionals across the U.S. Under the Strategic Franchising Systems umbrella, the brand’s food is made with natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals, free from potentially harmful fillers, bad ingredient choices and animal byproducts that make other pet foods subpar.
Today, Pet Wants provides franchisees with an exciting opportunity for those looking to enter the pet food industry. But how much does it really cost to start?
Pet Wants stands out in the retail franchise world with a unique, low-cost investment model in a high-demand industry. Franchise business owners begin with mobile or event-based marketing and e-commerce sales to drive revenue while building into their retail location. In doing so, they focus on acquiring subscription delivery customers and building connections with local pet parents at these events. Within the first year, franchisees launch their retail pet store and grooming center that sells Pet Wants food, custom treats and high-end pet accessories.
"Our business model is very community-centric," said Walter Lacey, VP of Development at Pet Wants. “ Traditionally when buying a retail franchise, franchisees have to wait for an average of 6+ months to start operations of their business due to real estate timelines. With Pet Wants, we have a strategy and process built around generating sales and building meaningful relationships within the community, long before the opening of a retail location. This puts our franchisees ahead of the curve and off to a great start!
This speedy process allows franchisees to begin generating cash flow and return on their initial investment quicker than many other franchises. “We also take the guesswork out of finding the perfect space thanks to our new real estate partner. This resource allows our franchisees to focus on growing their business, and building relationships right out of the gate.” adds Lacey.
According to Item 7 of the Pet Wants 2023 FDD, the total investment necessary to begin operation of a Pet Wants franchise ranges from $131,350 – $202,500. This includes a total of between $57,500 and $62,500 that must be paid to the franchisor or an affiliate. That initial investment covers everything necessary for starting both the mobile business and a brick-and-mortar location.
Furthermore, Pet Wants franchises do not require prime real estate locations to be successful. Franchisees can thrive in B - C real estate, further reducing costs and potentially enhancing profit margins.
“Overall, we want to help keep franchisee expenses down.” stated Lacey. “This helps owners get to profitability at a much quicker rate of speed while doing what they love. Rather than driving high build out costs and profit driven vendor rebate relationships, we focus on creating efficient, professional locations without imposing high overhead costs for franchisees.”
According to the Pet Wants 2023 Item 19, reported ROI for the average of the top quartile of Pet Wants franchises came to $1,103,304.
As part of the initial investment, Pet Wants franchisees will pay a franchise fee of $42,500. To further incentivize its franchisees, Pet Wants offers a unique program called the "Winner's Circle." This program gives franchisees the opportunity to earn back that initial franchise fee investment by achieving certain revenue benchmarks over the first four years of operation.
Overall, Pet Wants’ low startup costs and quick market entry make it a practical option for many budding entrepreneurs, Lacey says. “The beauty of buying a franchise like Pet Wants is that your investment is going towards a proven business model in one of the hottest and fastest growing industries. All the franchisee has to do is run the play.”
With its unique investment model, community-centered business strategy, and attractive incentives for franchisees, Pet Wants presents a promising opportunity for those 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 DeNita Carani, Pet Wants President. “It's the same 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."
