Pet Wants has been named to Entrepreneur Magazine’s Fastest-Growing Franchises list, which recognizes franchise brands with the highest net unit growth across North America over the past year. The ranking is based on new franchise units added in the U.S. and Canada between July 2024 and July 2025, as reported through Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500® data and verified by the publication.
The recognition underscores what many in the industry already see clearly: the pet category continues to be one of the most resilient and fastest-growing sectors in consumer spending. Pet ownership remains strong, and demand for higher-quality, more convenient nutrition options continues to accelerate as pet parents increasingly treat pets as family members.
What makes Pet Wants particularly well positioned is how it bridges two extremes in the pet franchise space.
On one end are high-investment, big-box retail concepts that often require significant buildout costs, real estate commitments, and large teams to operate. While established, they can be capital intensive and slower to scale for many entrepreneurs.
On the other end are mobile-only pet service models that can offer lower startup costs, but often come with limited scalability, constrained territory potential, and fewer opportunities to build a long-term, multi-unit business.
Pet Wants occupies a unique and compelling middle ground.
Its model combines a relatively accessible investment structure with a product-based, repeat-purchase revenue stream driven by fresh, high-quality pet food delivered directly to customers. This creates a business that is both operationally simple and highly scalable—allowing owners to grow beyond a single-unit, mobile-only footprint while avoiding the complexity and overhead of traditional retail.
For entrepreneurs seeking a business that combines recurring revenue, scalability, and alignment with a durable consumer trend, Pet Wants continues to stand out as a compelling opportunity in the modern pet franchise landscape.
