“Pivot.” From businesses to schools to life in general, that seems to be the buzzword these days. If you’ve been spending any of your time at home thinking about whether you’re in the right career, it might be time to pivot toward your passion.

If your passion involves animals, we have some good news: Pet spending has been so strong, even in the midst of the pandemic, that EarthWise Pet Supply is continuing to open franchises.

Candidates need a minimum net worth of $300,000 and liquid capital of at least $100,000. Startup costs are $230,500 to $565,500. EarthWise franchisees don’t need any specialized business background. 

Sioux Falls, SD, franchise owner Julie Ward and her husband, Scott, had good careers in home health care and customer service management, respectively, but both wanted something more. They’ve been able to feed that passion by joining the EarthWise Pet franchise family.

“Every day, we get to interact with people who are like us,” she says. “They’re all pet lovers and they are passionate about their pet’s wellness. Some are further along in their knowledge, and some take a bigger interest in it than others, but every day we get to talk to people and help educate them about what’s best for their pets.”
