Ever wondered what it REALLY takes to open a brick and mortar pet business from scratch?
Spoiler alert: It’s messy, magical, and takes about 3x longer than you think it will! 😅😅
In this raw, unfiltered episode of our Behind Closed Doors series, Candace pulls back the curtain on the wild ride of building Dante & Dory’s Pet Emporium. This is the real story of what happens between “great idea” and “grand opening.”
What you’ll discover in this candid update:
🎯 Why everything takes 3x longer than anyone tells you (and how to stay sane anyway)
🎯 The Facebook Marketplace strategy that’s saving THOUSANDS on fixtures and displays
🎯 The art of decision-making when you’re trying NOT to be everything to everyone
