Market Outlook:
This is a unique business with little competition. The product is of a high quality and commands a good price point. The products currently cater to the pet industry and the general population has an exceptional attachment to their pets. They are family. This is seen in the increase in the number of groomers, pet resorts, veterinarians, and the advent of pet insurance. There is no sign that people will love their pets less or spend less money to express those feelings any time soon. There are lines which are in place and have not been marketed to any great extent. A new owner who is savvy in the marketing area is not limited to the pet market. There are certainly many design areas that could be added.
Mgmt. Training / Support:
The owner is willing to train the new buyer for 4 weeks and to be available for 6 months for consulting to ensure a smooth transition.
Reason For Selling:
Having grown up in the industry and spent a lifetime there, while he is still young, the owner would like to pursue another road and see where that takes him.
