Company Information
Unknown
NPM Franchising, LLC is an Oregon limited liability company that was originally formed on February 26, 2008 under the name “Nature’s Pet Franchising, LLC”. They changed their name to “Nature’s Pet Market Franchising, LLC” March 31, 2011 and changed to their current name, “NPM Franchising, LLC”, January 2013. Their principal place of business is P.O. Box 1008, 190 N. Douglas Street, Canby, Oregon 97013. They began to offer franchises in March 2008.
We license our franchisees in specified territories to own and operate a franchise under the Nature's Pet, EarthWise Pet and/or Groom Bar names and marks (collectively the “Service Marks”). We authorize our Nature's Pet and EarthWise Pet franchisees to operate, promote and advertise businesses that offer highest quality pet foods and supplies and related products and services to the public. We authorize our Groom Bar franchisees to operate, promote and advertise businesses that offer pet grooming and related products and services to the public. Groom Bar franchises may be operated as stand-alone stores or may be combined with a Nature's Pet or EarthWise Pet store. The stand-alone Groom Bar franchise opportunity is available only if you will simultaneously purchase three or more such franchises. Franchisees use our applicable systems and Service Marks in the establishment and operation of their franchises (collectively “Method of Operation”). Some or all our initial and ongoing obligations to you may be performed by an area representative in your area that is not a party to your Franchise Agreement. We have created the Franchise program that includes use and promotion of the Service Marks, store interior and exterior trade-dress, standards, specifications and procedures for quality, efficient service and uniformity of products and services, procedures and computer software for inventory and management control, training, advertising, promotional programs and ongoing assistance. We have offered in the past, but do not currently offer area representatives the right to develop franchises in a specified Development Area. The standard area representative offering requires an area representative to provide certain services related to marketing for prospective franchisees; investigation and qualification of prospective franchisees; pre-opening services to franchisees; and ongoing support and supervision of franchisees within a Development Area. If we make this offering in the future, then we will use a separate franchise disclosure document for prospective area representatives. 6 We began to offer franchises in March 2008. We have not offered franchises in other lines of business. We operate one or more businesses of the type being offered under this Disclosure Document as disclosed in Item 20. We (and any affiliate of ours) retain the right to own or operate additional Nature's Pet, EarthWise Pet and/or Groom Bar operations and franchises. Our former affiliate, Nature's Pet, LLC, operated one or more Nature's Pet stores in Oregon from 2005 to 2016 that were like the franchised businesses being offered under this Disclosure Document.

Summary of Investment Costs
Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: N.A Maximum: N.A
Upfront franchise fees are the one-time payments required to secure rights to operate under an established brand, typically ranging from $20,000 to $100,000+ depending on brand value.
These fees grant access to proprietary business systems, training programs, intellectual property rights, and often territorial exclusivity—essentially purchasing the blueprint for a proven business model.
While separate from ongoing royalties, investors should evaluate these fees against expected returns, comparing fee-to-earnings ratios across opportunities and assessing how effectively franchisors reinvest these funds into system improvements.
Total Investment Costs
Minimum: $211,000 Maximum: $476,000
Ongoing Fees
Ongoing franchise fees, typically structured as royalties ranging from 4-8% of gross sales, represent the continuous payments franchisees make to maintain brand affiliation and support services.
These recurring fees fund the franchisor's operational assistance, marketing initiatives, technology updates, and continued brand development—creating a partnership where the franchisor's revenue grows alongside the franchisee's success. In addition to royalties, franchisees often contribute to national advertising funds (usually 1-3% of sales) and may incur technology fees, supply chain markups, or renewal fees depending on the franchise agreement.
Investors should carefully analyze these ongoing costs within their financial projections, as they directly impact profit margins and cash flow throughout the entire franchise relationship.
