Through the last 5 posts, I believe that you have known more about the pet stores. It’s great to open a pet store, but you should learn to manage your expectations. That is you can’t expect it to earn millions of dollars.
How To Keep The Breakeven Point?
Generally speaking, it needs a period before a new store starts to gain profits. According to the washing grooming and retailing 1:1 ratio, in the biggest city, the sales turnover should between 500 thousand to 600 thousand RMB.
But since the rent cost is different in a different area, so the sales ratio of washing grooming, retailing, fostering and living sales is different. Even the difference is quite huge. According to our research, 200 fixed members can support a community pet store.
Where Is The Location? What is the store’s style?
You should check the surroundings before choosing the location. Because some of the community has few community stores, while the washing and grooming just need, so it’s ok to open a new one.
But if one community already has 3-4 pet stores, people have other choices before making a decision. Now you should think twice before the decision. But we didn’t say there is no opportunity, you can find a difference with others.
Let’s say if other stores mainly provide a washing and grooming service, maybe you can open a professional fostering store or living sales store. Remember to be different from others, so that people can remember your store at once.

What Others Factors That Need To Consider?
Opening a self-owned pet store, except the community and consumption factors, you need also consider other factors. If you can get a discount rent in a shopping mall, it’s a good choice to open the store in the shopping mall.
What Are The Risks?
You should know risks are everywhere. There are also many risks of opening a pet store because there will be injuries, deaths, and sickness to pets. Take the shearing as an example, the pet will jump or run, and this will hurt their body. And also the fostering, pets maybe infect each other with different bacteria. These will affect the reputation, or even close the store.
What About The Competition?
There are too many traditional community pet stores in China, so the competition is fierce. A good pet store can cover hundreds of pets within 3kms, the sales turnover is easy to arrive 50 to 60 thousand RMB.
The turnover even can arrive 100 thousand RMB in some strong consumption community stores. But it’s different to break 200 thousand sales turnover unless the pet supplies shopping mall store.
Self Owned Community Pet Store Or Franchise Pet Store?
If you do really want to run a pet store and want to quickly learn this business by the franchise, then you need to be careful. Because in our previous post Franchise Chain Pet Store And Regular Chain Pet Store, we analyzed the franchise pet store clearly.
Because of the features of the pet industry, the head office only saved your learning cost. But in the late stage, they can not provide SOP service and lower price pet supplies. One more thing, just like every business-like, running a pet store is very hard work, it’s not as easy as you thought!
