Hiring temporary foreign workers: What you need to know
There are three ways in which Canadian franchises can...
Canada has the second largest pet franchise industry in the world. It delivers $100 billion in revenue every year and grows annually. At the same time, the average of 7.6 million cats and 5.5 million dogs in Canada presents a growing industry for franchisees. Every portion of the pet industry is growing, now representing $5.6 billion in Canadian sales. The Associated Press recently reported on the recession resistance of the pet franchise industry. Recent industry statistics show that penny pinchers in harsh economic climates aren't spending less on their pets. Unlike other industries, this one continues to climb. This provides franchisees with a uniquely stubborn industry that will remain profitable regardless of the recession. We offer four such opportunities to those seeking ways to become self employed.
The demand for healthier products and foods is spreading across a number of industries, including the pet industry. There is a growing base of aging pets in Canada which adds to the demand for fortified foods that can prevent and treat health and dietary problems. Today's consumer is educated about the nutritional needs of pets, creating an entirely new segment in the market. The Bone and Biscuit Company is a boutique retailer that provides premium foods through exceptionally trained staff and premium products. We focus on delivering product knowledge to our customers so that they understand how our specialty foods will affect their pets' health. We continuously expand on the sophistication of our range to match the growing complexity of our clientele.
