Presentation : Pitou Minou et Compagnons Franchise
Over 16 years ago, Richard Bégin, founder of Pitou Minou & Compagnons, launched his company after noticing that pet food options in Quebec didn’t meet his quality criteria. Seeking high-quality natural foods for his own pets, he was disappointed not to find suitable products locally. Faced with a market lacking in healthy options for pets, he took the initiative to create his own store, offering a healthy alternative for his community.
By partnering with Global Pet Foods, a well-known Canadian brand, he was able to offer high-quality products made in Canada, guaranteeing natural, beneficial foods for dogs and cats. Since the opening of its first boutique, the Pitou Minou & Compagnons network has expanded to more than 35 franchises in Quebec, notably in Montreal, Outaouais and Quebec City.
This close partnership with Global Pet Foods, which operates over 200 stores in the other provinces, positions Pitou Minou & Compagnons within the largest chain of specialty stores in Canada. As a result, this affiliation gives the franchise a significant advantage in terms of purchasing power, resulting in higher margins for franchisees.
