Pet Wants, the pet food franchise, plans to open a new location on Wade Hampton Boulevard in Greenville, South Carolina, this year, according to a recent article on Post and Courier Greenville

Pet Wants is the only national provider of pet food freshly delivered to customers. The brand’s food, which is made with natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals, is free from potentially harmful fillers, bad ingredient choices and animal byproducts that make other pet foods subpar. 

Rob and Denise Kelly are the franchisee duo behind the new location, which will serve the Greenville, Taylors and Travelers Rest areas in South Carolina. Prior to joining Pet Wants, Rob had a 27-year tenure in the automotive industry, supplying luxury interiors to Cadillac, BMW and Tesla. However, with the reorganization of his department,  he found himself at a crossroads and decided to leave the corporate world behind. His wife, Denise, was a retired teacher with a compassionate history of volunteering at animal shelters and assisting homebound students. The two of them were avid dog lovers who shared a life filled with canine companionship. 

The Kellys' journey into franchising was born out of a combination of their desire for a career pivot and their passion for pets. Their firsthand experience with Pet Wants’ food impressed them deeply, aligning with their values and igniting their entrepreneurial spirit. Rob was drawn to the brand's mission and support system, while Denise saw a unique opportunity in the company's nutrition-focused model to make a difference. 

“We really want to educate our community and be more involved — the goal is to individualize the needs of dogs so local pet owners can better take care of their furry friends,” Denise told 1851 Franchise. “That is our big thing. As pet parents, we used to only look at the main ingredients of the food we were buying. Now, we see things a different way — the food images and the ingredient labels can be very deceptive. We want to bring attention to the benefits of choosing the right pet food for your specific pet.”

With 24 new franchise territories added last year alone, Pet Wants has officially crossed the milestone of 150 territories as it continues its impressive journey towards enriching the lives of pets and their owners all across North America.
