DORAL, FL / ACCESSWIRE / May 27, 2022 / There is one puppy store in America that is changing the way potential pet owners find and purchase their lifelong companions: World Famous Puppies. Now the most viral, most interactive, and fastest-growing company prepares to open multiple new stores across the US.
“We’ve been in business for just over a year,” says owner and CEO Erik Torres, “and the company is already worth millions. It’s overwhelming.”
During the pandemic, Torres saw massive earning potential in the pet industry. More than that, he saw a chance to create real connections between families and puppies: 95.5% of dog owners consider their pet to be a member of the family, and World Famous Puppies is a company committed to creating forever homes.
One of the Fastest Growing Industries
Over 2 million puppies are sold in and around the US every year. This number includes puppies purchased from both breeders and pet stores. During the recent pandemic, a whopping 33% of Americans at least considered purchasing a dog, and 63.4 million American households own at least one dog. This demonstrates a very large market as far as the pet industry; the American Pet Products Association (APPA) estimated that in 2020, pet owners spent over $30 billion on vet care and products (food, toys, accessories, etc.). Of those pet owners, over 76% are dog owners, making dogs America’s favorite pet.
“All this increased during the pandemic,” says Torres. “People were in quarantine. They spent more time with their pets and spent more money on them, too.”
But World Famous Puppies is not all about the bottom line. The company is growing at an exponential rate because it simply does business differently than any other pet store in the country. WFP capitalizes on the popularity of social media, which also increased significantly during the pandemic due to time spent in quarantine. The company has a bright, colorful, interactive website that showcases each individual puppy available for purchase. The site is easy to use and offers a questionnaire focused on connecting the right family to the right dog.
Making Connections Between Families and Pets
The company also offers national financing, a rare option in the pet industry, and one which a majority of WFP customers choose, making puppy purchases more affordable than ever before. Customers can apply for financing right on the website, and receive their puppy the following evening, making the process streamlined and headache-free.
World Famous Puppies is known to maintain the most active Instagram account in the industry, which features the same bold, colorful logo and theme seen on the website, making it instantly recognizable. The Instagram account features something fresh and new in the pet industry: individual videos for every single puppy that the company offers for sale, organizing them by name, not just by breed, indicating that the company cares about every single animal individually.
Each puppy gets this special treatment: a video where a helpful, friendly brand ambassador for the company discusses that particular puppy’s needs and personality, as well as information about that specific breed.
Torres created a trend never seen before: a new innovative way to offer pets for sale, and he had no idea at the time that it would make such a big impact. “I had a vision,” he said, “an idea – this is how I will connect with the customers and offer something truly genuine. I don’t sell dogs. I showcase their personalities and their individual needs.”
The company offers further flexibility by offering overnight shipping all over the world, so new owners get their pets right away. World Famous Puppies only deals with reputable, USDA breeders and ensures the health and quality of each of their animals. “We only use the best breeders in the country,” Torres reveals. “I feel a connection with every single dog that passes through my store.”
From a Single Puppy to a Cuddly Empire
Owner/CEO Erik Torres began the now multi-million-dollar company starting with the purchase and resale of a single puppy. “I put that money into buying two puppies,” he reveals, “and so on. Soon I was able to expand to the point of attaining a storefront and a website.”
From that point, the sky was the limit, as Torres applied his 17 years of digital marketing experience and brand development to his website and social media presence. He never took out a loan, never borrowed money from friends or family, but rather built his business on hard work.
“People starting a business with a lot of capital have less motivation to work than people starting with zero,” says Torres. “Starting with nothing makes you driven. When you’re hungry, your brain works harder. If you’re too comfortable, your mind doesn’t activate the parts of the brain that move toward survival.”
Everything is About Time, Says Torres
Torres started with nothing but a dream of supporting his beloved daughter. Now, he has a massive legacy to leave to her, and he isn’t done yet. Future plans for expansion with World Famous Puppies include developing a line of pet accessory products, and Torres has a huge secret project in the works.
“What I have cooking in the oven is going to blow the market away,” says Torres. “We’re bringing the love of pet ownership to the Metaverse. Basically, all I can say is, stay tuned!”
Torres is determined to keep up the hard work that got him to where he is today. “In this life,” he says, “everything is about time. How much time do you have in this life? What can you accomplish in the days and the hours allotted to you? You have to be willing to invest that precious time if you’re chasing a dream.”
Torres has proven himself to be willing to make that commitment. World Famous Puppies’ explosive growth is a testament to Torres’ hard work and dedication to his own dream. If you’re in the market for a new addition to your family, you can stop by his website now to view the current adorable offerings.
