Our Business Activities and the Franchises to be Offered. We offer both Pet Wants Mobile Franchises and Pet Wants Store Franchisesto operate a businessthat offers pet food and supplies under the business name PET WANTS and uses our other related trademarks and logos (our “Marks”). As a Pet Wants Mobile Franchisee, you will operate a mobile pet food business that delivers and/or ships premium dog and cat food directly to pet owners' homes. A Pet Wants Store Franchise will operate from a permanent retail location (a “Pet Wants Store”) in addition to offering the same delivery and shipping services offered by a Pet Wants Mobile Franchise. To operate a Pet Wants Store you must purchase a Pet Wants Store Franchise and sign a Store Franchise Addendum, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit C to this disclosure document. Some Pet Wants franchisees initially purchase a Pet Wants Mobile Franchise and later transition to a Pet Wants Store. Whether you operate a Pet Wants Mobile Franchise or a Pet Wants Store Franchise, you will offer your products to all dog and cat owners. You will market your services through advertising in various media (including the Internet) targeted to potential consumers, through personal solicitation of referral sources such as veterinarians, pet breeders and pet groomers, and by setting up displays (using your PET WANTS branded delivery vehicle) and offering samples of your products at public venues and events such as flea markets, farmers markets, street fairs and markets, festivals, and dog shows. You will compete with other businesses in the same geographic area that offer pet food such as retail and specialty stores, some of which are national chains, as well as online retailers and businesses similar to your Pet Wants Mobile Franchise and/or Pet Wants Store Franchise that offer a delivery service, including those that may be franchised by other national franchise companies. We will train you to operate your Pet Wantsfranchise. You must be prepared to follow all of our standards and specifications for the quality of the products and services you will provide, customer relations, store design, vehicles and employee uniforms. Prior experience in retailing or the pet food industry is not required. You may operate your Pet Wants Mobile Franchise from a home office, but you will need to rent climate-controlled warehouse space to store your inventory. You will use a vehicle branded with our Marks to deliver the products to your customers' homes. Pet Wants was formed solely for the purpose of offering and supporting Pet Wants franchises. We have offered franchises of this type since April 2015. We have no other business activities and we have never offered franchises or otherwise conducted business in any other line of business. We have never operated a Pet Wants franchise or otherwise conducted a business of the type to be operated, although an entity, LAC143 LLC, has operated a dog and cat food delivery service and two Pet Wants retail locations substantially similar to a Pet Wants Store Franchise in Cincinnati, Ohio, one since 2010 and the second 2 since 2012. The owner of LAC143 LLC owns a non-controlling interest in PWFS. LAC143 LLC became our first franchise owner on April 28, 2015.

Upfront Franchise Fees
Minimum: $63,500 Maximum: $73,500
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: $137,850 Maximum: $219,000
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.
