To provide the highest quality gourmet treats and related products to
our customers in a warm and friendly environment.
Our team has
experience in retail management, mall deployment, marketing,
franchising, product development, graphic design, e-Commerce, and
technology making Just Dogs! Gourmet� a competitive multi-unit
retail distribution force offering all-natural gourmet pet treats.
The company also
uses consultants with expertise in key aspects of franchising,
marketing, media, bakery and chain retail operations to meet the
challenges of a growing business such as Just Dogs! Gourmet�.
The company has its
Home Office and Bakery located in the Washington Mall, Washington, PA.
At this location, the treats are baked to perfection and sent to the
franchisees for decoration locally. All treat decorators attend
school at this location to ensure treat quality and appearance.
Day-to-day franchise
operations and franchisee training are conducted at our offices in
Birmingham, AL. Franchisees must attend two full days of training
here prior to their store opening. This training includes actual
in-store operations at our model store in the Riverchase Galleria Mall
