Trophy Pet Foods is the longest established and leading pet food doorstep distribution franchise. Trophy continually finetunes its support services to franchisees, an important part of which is constantly seeking ways of improving the vehicle element that is so vital to the business. The franchisee's van is their showroom, their shop on wheels, their means of delivering the orders to their Trophy customers, their mobile storage facility and their mobile liveried advertisement for the service they offer. The brightly liveried van contains a veritable mini pet shop. Bags of Trophy pet food, leads and collars, grooming aids, dog and cat treats, feeding bowls and many other accessories - they're all there in an easy-to-display format.

Add this to Trophy's targeted nine day training, powerful launch programme which includes launch marketing campaigns, over £1,400 worth of stock and full support and you get a franchise that's not just easy to learn and operate, but also a highly effective business.
