Pet Wants hires new VP of Marketing
The Cincinnati-based pet food franchise is expanding its leadership team to continue its fast growth.
Emily Roberts has more than 17 years of strategic marketing leadership with expertise with multiple industries including franchising, retail, media, education, banking, and non-profits.
“We are so pleased to have Emily on board during this time of rapid expansion. She brings exceptional talent to our company in terms of strategic marketing, digital technologies, and community engagement,” said Ed Evans, President of Pet Wants. “I am excited to collaborate with her on behalf of our owners and our consumers to expand our reach and provide the products that every Pet Wants.”
Roberts joins Pet Wants at an exciting time. The brand has enjoyed record-setting sales throughout the last two years. Pet Wants also expanded its footprint with 22 new franchises in 2020 and 125 locations so far in 2021 – with an additional 40-50 agreements to be signed by the end of the year.
Pet Wants was founded in Cincinnati in 2010 to bring fresh, natural, and conveniently delivered pet food to pet families. It provides custom-made pet food to ours through stores and home delivery.
“I am truly honored and excited by this opportunity,” said Roberts. “Pet Wants is a unique brand rooted in health and devoted to helping pets live longer, healthier lives through nutrition. I look forward to introducing new processes and platforms to help us make the biggest impact in the most immediate way to advance our owners and facilitate further growth of the Pet Wants brand. There are more than 40 thousand zip codes in the United States. We’ve only touched the surface of what we can do for the pet industry.”
