Owning a Bone and Biscuit has been an awesome opportunity for our entire family. It is hard work but very rewarding. We now have so much more flexibility and are happy to be living the lifestyle we were hoping for. To be able to combine our passion with our work is amazing and we get to meet so many great people in our local community. We really enjoy being small business owners and having the support of a larger organization behind us has been incredibly helpful.
We've been open for business for a short seven months, but being a Bone & Biscuit owner has been a pleasure. Lee and Steve are always a phone call away and the support that I feel from head office gives me great comfort. This has been a great business venture for us.
We opened our doors about one year ago and have never looked back. Owning and operating a Bone & Biscuit franchise has been both exciting and gratifying. As an established, recognized and respected brand name, we’ve made good relationships with both our vendors and our customers easily. Lee, Steve & the entire ownership group are always available to help. It can be a lot of work at times, but nothing beats helping our community while petting dogs all day long.
Immaculately clean store, well lit and tastefully designed.
