Barks & Meows Only · Retail Placement

Our freezer.
Your floor.
Cold the whole way.

We install a commercial glass-door merchandiser in your shop, keep it stocked, and run the cold chain end to end. You provide four square feet of floor space.

Drive Traffic, Earn Money

Turn four square feet of dead floor space into recurring weekly retail revenue with zero equipment purchase.

Open decision · no figure set

The host’s cut has not been decided.

This is the number a store owner signs for, and it is deliberately blank on this page because Barks & Meows Only has not ruled on it yet. Both shapes are still on the table: a flat fee per pack sold, or a percentage of the retail price. No candidate figure is printed here, and any number you may have heard discussed is a proposal, not a rate.

Staging note — pre-production page, 2026-11-01. When the rate is ruled, it replaces this block with the shape, the figure, the unit it applies to, and the date it was set. Until then there is nothing to quote and nothing to sign.

01

Monetize Unused Floor Space

The cabinet, delivery, installation, maintenance, and stocking are our capital expense. You monetize floor footage with route-managed inventory and no equipment outlay. High-efficiency R290 compressor draws under $11.80/mo electric.

02

Recurring Weekly Foot Traffic

Raw canine feeders buy on strict 7-to-10 day refill cycles. Customers walk past your register 3 to 4 times every month—turning occasional shoppers into habitual weekly store visitors.

03

Zero Cold-Chain Burden

We take responsibility for inventory condition. Route drivers stock directly into the cabinet, log rotation dates, and wipe down the glass. If a unit warms, we clear and restock at our expense.
