In the last ten years pet services and products have ranked in the top of all business categories for dollar volume and for fast growth.
According to the American Pet Product Association (APPA), Americans will spend $45.5 billion on pets in 2009 and pet products will be the fastest growing segment of the retail industry, after consumer electronics.
FranchiseHelp has completed (September 2009) a report on the US pet industry which includes a general overview and specific information on 17 prominent pet franchises. The report includes a description of the pet service/product business and the investment level. More importantly, you will have access to all 17 franchise agreements and 8 financial representations.
The Franchise Agreement traditionally outlines the franchisor's terms and conditions for the franchisee.
