Changing her existence through franchising with Oscars
David and Dawn Jarvis

Franchisees: David & Dawn Jarvis
Territory: Hastings, East Sussex
Established date: August 1996
After 23 years with the Bank, the last thing I thought I would be working with was pets. Redundancy was on offer and the family saw this as the opportunity to try something different. Dawn also wanted her own challenge as being a housewife and mother to our three children meant that a joint business venture would change her existence.
With no real knowledge of the trade, pets, pet food or nutrition we were attracted by the potential of the concept. The benefits of purchasing power from a large organisation gave the smaller business more strength and combined with desire and determination we have never looked back.
This would have not been possible without the back-up support provided by Oscar and by following a proven system.
We have had the determination to succeed - working hard brings the reward which is reflected in our returns.
