Pet Food Gold Rush: Franchise Royalties + Distribution For Sale

“More Than a Pet Business — A Scalable Platform in a Booming Industry.”

“Built to Scale. Proven to Perform. Positioned to Lead.”

Raw and natural pet food is growing at roughly a 10% CAGR, more than double the broader pet food market. This listing is an asset-light way into that market, with no retail storefronts to run.

The offering combines two profitable, complementary businesses:

A franchise system. Five operating locations across multiple states, with two more high-volume stores contracted to join. Royalties are 5% of gross sales plus a 1% brand development fee. The two new locations alone add about $246,000 a year in royalty income, based on their actual 2023 sales. The brand is recognized, Inc. 5000-ranked, and has a loyal customer base built around premium, human-grade, USA-made nutrition.

A regional wholesale distributor. It holds exclusive New York distribution rights for multiple premium raw, natural and holistic pet food brands. The business carries 100+ brands and 10,000+ SKUs and did $3.2M in trailing-twelve-month revenue, with gross margin improving to 21.5% this year. It supplies franchise locations and independent competitors alike, so rivals become customers.

The two businesses feed each other. Every new franchise becomes a distribution customer, and the franchise brand strengthens the distributor’s pitch to retailers. Seller financing is available to a qualified buyer.
