Description
“More Than a Pet Business — A Scalable Platform in a Booming Industry.”
“Built to Scale. Proven to Perform. Positioned to Lead.”
AcquiTrust Advisors is pleased to present a confidential opportunity in the rapidly expanding pet industry, featuring a vertically integrated platform operating across distribution, retail, and franchising.
This is a rare, institutional-quality business with real scale, real margins, and a proven growth trajectory.
Why This Opportunity Stands Out
This business is highly differentiated within the pet industry and offers a combination of scale, brand recognition, and diversification that is seldom available in a single transaction.
Key highlights include:
$8MM+ in gross revenue with approximately $1.1MM in EBITDA
Consistent, year-over-year growth over multiple years
Featured on the Inc. 5000, validating both growth and operational execution
Diversified revenue streams across:
Wholesale / distribution
Company-owned retail
A scalable franchising model
Strong brand equity and repeat customer base
Systems, infrastructure, and leadership already in place
Importantly, the owner intends to retain approximately 10% equity post-closing, demonstrating strong confidence in the business and alignment with the next phase of growth. The owner is also willing to remain actively involved to help scale operations, support franchising expansion, and drive continued momentum.
Buyer Profile
Ideal for:
Strategic buyers in the pet, consumer, or franchising space
Private equity groups and independent sponsors
Platform buyers seeking a scalable, multi-channel model
Experienced operators with growth capital
It is a strategic transition designed to bring in the right partner to accelerate growth. Seller financing flexibility available. Business CIM will be disclosed only upon execution of an NDA and buyer qualification. Offered Exclusively By: AcquiTrust Advisors- Your Advantage in Every Acquisition.

Market & Competition
Market: You are stepping into the epicenter of the "pet humanization" gold rush—a non-discretionary, $135B+ industry fueled by owners who treat their pets like family. This is a market that doesn't just survive economic downturns; it thrives in them.
Competition: What competition? With exclusive distribution rights and a beloved brand, this business operates from a position of immense strength. New entrants face a formidable barrier, often needing to become your wholesale customer just to compete.
Growth Opportunities
Significant upside exists for a new owner through:
Expansion of franchised locations
Scaling the distribution arm into new geographic markets
Increased penetration of retail and direct-to-consumer channels
Strategic add-on acquisitions within the fragmented pet space
Brand-driven marketing and operational efficiencies
This business is positioned to benefit from continued consumer spending on pets, one of the fastest-growing and most recession-resistant sectors.
