PRICE REDUCED for a fall 2026 closing.
The owners are motivated to complete a sale this fall and have reduced the asking price from $130,000 to $110,000, inventory included. Everything described below is included.
A rare opportunity to step into a modern, professionally built pet boutique at the very start of its growth curve.
This store was designed and built from the ground up by its owners with a strong focus on branding, customer experience, and community presence. Thoughtfully executed, it offers a new owner everything that's hardest and most expensive about launching a retail business — already done. The buildout is new, the systems are new, the brand is established, and the store has earned a loyal, repeat customer base and genuine neighbourhood support. Sales for January–June 2026 were up 51% over the same period in 2025.
The store specializes in curated dog and cat products: premium foods, natural treats, supplements, toys, accessories, and locally sourced goods.
What you're acquiring:
- Modern custom retail buildout and fixtures, approximately 1,000 sq. ft. of main-floor retail
An additional ~1,000 sq. ft. lower level — currently storage, with significant untapped potential
- Roughedin plumbing and a separate entrance, ready for a grooming operation
- Established Critter & Co. brand: name, logo, full branding suite and professional product photography
- Custombuilt website and Shopify ecommerce store with domain, designed and maintained by a professional developer, with an established online customer base
- Customer database and email list, Instagram and social accounts, Google Business Profile with reviews, and Google and Meta advertising accounts, all set up and performing
- Local delivery infrastructure already in place
- Established supplier relationships and inventory management systems
- Thorough documentation of all operational processes — a true turnkey handover
Supportive landlord and an attractive retail location in a growing neighbourhood
Why this is a growth opportunity, not just a purchase:
Because the business is in its early chapter, the upside remains for the buyer. There is clear room to expand the product mix, grow the e-commerce channel, and — most significantly — add services. The lower level and roughed-in grooming infrastructure make grooming, self-wash, or other pet services a natural next step, with the plumbing and separate access already in place. A new owner inherits a polished foundation and captures the growth themselves.
Why we're selling:
The owners have two other businesses that need their full attention and are not able to work in the store themselves. The store is being offered as an owner-operator opportunity: the foundation is built, and the return is for the person who runs it.
Ideal for an owner-operator, pet enthusiast, couple, or entrepreneur who wants a beautifully designed business with the startup risk removed and the growth still ahead.
