Second, our locations operate a deli/cafe attached to the bakery. The upside to this opportunity is significant, including franchise fee revenues and ongoing royalty revenue growth as new franchisees are brought into the system. We support our franchisee partners with 3rd-party financial assistance, site selection assistance, lease negotiation assistance, cooperative advertising, product cost reductions, and extensive onboard training. The reason we are selling it is part of an exit strategy moving towards retirement. The foundation of this business is solid. The two company-owned locations are profitable. The franchisees are profitable, and many have been with us for a long time. Essentially, there are two businesses included in this sale. First, there are two corporate-owned bakeries/cafes located in southern CA near the coast. Second, there is the franchise company. The franchise company could be redomiciled to another state. The asking price includes both the corporate operating retail locations along with the franchise company. We will entertain selling just the franchise company and continue operating the two corporate locations as franchisees. To engage us in conversation, we do require two things.

In recent years, pet owners across the U.S. have been spending significantly on their pets’ well-being and nutrition. According to statistics provided by the American Pet Products Association (APPA), in 2019, owners spent around $97.1 Billion on pets in the U.S. This trend correlates with the growth of certain pet food segments, including healthy treats, snacks, specialty pet foods, and other premium options. Even amid the COVID-19 pandemic and the global economic crisis that ensued, pet industry sales exceeded $29.17 Billion in 2020. This growth can largely be attributed to the growing number of pet ownerships, as many people sought out pets during the pandemic for comfort and companionship.The increasing number of pets across the U.S. is driving the demand for pet snacks & treats in the country. For instance, according to the U.S. Pet Food Industry’s pet ownership study, in 2020, pet ownership rose from 67% of households to an all-time high of 70%, which is confirmed by the APPA. The booming pet treats market in the U.S. will continue to create opportunities for market players, particularly from a supplier viewpoint. As consumers continue to be price-conscious, developing premium lines that also tap into other categories, such as breed, age, and lifestyle, are seen as an opportunity for manufacturers to offer added value.
