What Motivated Amelia, Heather and Marco?

Meet three of our franchisees and hear what they have to say about what motivated them to open a Global Pet Foods store.

Amelia, Multi-Store Owner | Burnaby, BC

I was looking for an opportunity to open a store and be an entrepreneur, really making something unique and special to me. But I wanted and needed the support of a franchise. The brand offered help with designing the store, crafting marketing campaigns, picking brands, and negotiating buying contracts, so I could learn from proven systems and hit the ground running.

There are a lot of similarities from store to store. You know when you’re walking into a store owned by me. Everything I care about is written all over the store—in the products, in the service, in the way we get involved with the community. It’s this perfect merger of all the great things about an independent pet store with all the help and support of a franchise.

Heather | Sherwood Park, Alberta.

Before opening our store in 2016, we did lots of research on available franchises. We had decided to focus on the retail pet industry as we felt like it would be the most recession-resistant which has only proven itself through the COVID19 pandemic. Global Pet Foods stood above any other franchise by being 100% Canadian-owned, having an exclusive partnership with Air Miles, and having 45 years of franchising means that we have a proven business strategy.

If I could go back in time and choose any franchise, I’d pick Global Pet Foods all over again.

Marco | King City, ON

The best thing about being a Global Pet Foods franchisee is having the ability to help owners with the issues their pets may have. I love being able to meet lots of different people and their animals daily.

Helping new and experienced pet owners resolve issues with their pets and being able to see/hear about the results has been the most rewarding experience.

Being a Canadian-owned franchise, mixed with my love of pets made the decision easy to open a Global Pet Foods. I would do it all over again.
