The business, referred to as AnimalJerks, is centered around a set of five original characters: Amaroq, Clawdia, Beaksy, Sir Munchalot, and Crumbfoot. These characters are designed with a 15-second animation loop that can be integrated into content videos, establishing a unique brand personality uncommon among pet stores. The sale of this business includes copyrights for all character artwork and animation, alongside a pending trademark application covering multiple classes. The brand focuses on eco-friendly pet supplies, catering to the increasing demand from pet owners for sustainable products.
AnimalJerks is fully equipped with a Shopify store, significant inventory worth over $4,000, myriad brand assets, social media accounts, and established supplier relationships. It represents a growth opportunity through character-based content, short videos, and merchandise, backed by a turnkey operation. Currently, the store is inactive, offering a fresh start for a new owner under their direction. The target audience comprises Canadian pet owners interested in sustainability, with character appeal intended to foster social media engagement.
Financially, the business is pre-revenue with no sales made to date, as the current owner had to pause operations due to personal health reasons. All foundational elements are ready for handover, including the Shopify store, domain, social accounts, inventory, equipment valued around $600 CAD, and supplier contacts. The pending trademark covers potential expansion into plastics, clothing, and online retail for pet products. Inventory and business assets are available for local pickup or shipping at the buyer's expense, and the current owner offers assistance during the transition.
