Description:
Start-up company in the $36 billion pet industry that is growing at 5% per year. We're a pet boarding, day-care, grooming, training, and retail company. We are strategically locatated in the fastest growing area of Knoxville TN. Similar facilities gross $1.5 to $2 million per year and offer fewer services with higher cost and more competition.
We're unique in that 1) owners will constitute 30% of payroll; 2) we have much lower land, construction, and operating costs than similar facilities grossing $1.6 million; and 3) there is a dire need for our services and no other competitors in our area.
