About Us
The Oscar business began by supplying direct to supermarket chains under their own generic labels. It was a great start, but to sit on the shelf alongside many other brands, Oscar felt that consumers had no guidance as to what was the best product to feed their pets.
Oscar established that home delivery was becoming one of the most exciting growth areas of the 90’s, with pet food at the forefront. It was predicted that by the year 2010, 55% of all sales would be made at home. Clearly this was a fantastic opportunity for Oscar to offer a unique customer service package to try before you buy, home delivery, competitive prices (no middle man), nutritional and behavioural advice. The Complete Pet Care Service.
The first Oscar franchise was established in 1993, and over the years they have kept a firm focus on the developments in pet food manufacturing, while devoting time to ensure a growing network of franchisees. An Oscar franchise is tailored to suit the individual, either to be treated as a second income, to develop into a full time business or to add to an existing operation. With each business growing from strength to strength, the Oscar System is continually improving, and on-going incentives continue to improve the potential of supporting its franchisees and their customers. In addition, Oscar has taken great care in selecting an excellent ancillary range of products such as; toys and treats for cats and dogs; food supplements; bedding; grooming tools; health care; training aids; food for small animals, birds, and fish.
Type Of Franchisees
Who’s Ideal?
Working for yourself in whatever business is hard and before committing to those first steps a potential franchisee must be prepared to be a good listener, enthusiastic, believe in the produce and enjoy work. Can you say yes to the following?
1) I am highly self-motivated.
2) I am prepared to work hard.
3) I like people and pets.
4) I am confident to talk to people by knocking on their door.
5) I have a full driving licence.
6) My health allows me to work outside, and lift 20Kg packs.
7) I have between £12,000 to 14,000 in liquid funds.
8) I understand that Year One is hard work and that real income may not be possible until Year Two.
9) I have a supportive partner who would help me if required.
10) I genuinely desire to ‘Be my own Boss’ and to build a business with long-term value rather than seek employment.
