What We Cover

Three fronts. One fight.

Everything on the show and in the community maps back to the same mission for independent pet retailers.

Operations

Running Better Businesses

Inventory systems, receiving workflows, staffing, scorecards, and the weekly rhythms that keep a store humming without the owner doing everything.

Numbers

Making Smarter Decisions

GMROI, labor percentage, empty-peg analysis, margin math — turning the data already sitting in your POS into decisions you can defend.

Growth

Taking What's Theirs

Ecommerce, local delivery, services, and community — the moves that win back share from big-box and online, on your own turf.

The Community

The MPR Mastermind

You're the only person in your store who does your job. In the Mastermind, you're one of dozens. Independent owners and operators comparing scorecards, swapping systems, and holding each other to the numbers.

Inside the room

  • Monthly hot-seat sessions on real store problems
  • Shared templates: scorecards, receiving trackers, promo calendars
  • Vendor and distributor intel from operators who've negotiated it
  • Accountability check-ins on your quarterly rocks
  • A private channel that answers faster than any consultant
