The Kind Pet, a company dedicated to creating sustainable pet toys, seeks to expand its market reach by identifying potential wholesale and retail partners. The project aims to research and compile a list of small, independent pet stores across the United States that align with The Kind Pet's values and product offerings. This project will allow learners to apply their research and analytical skills to identify key market opportunities. The team member will focus on understanding the landscape of independent pet retailers, assessing their compatibility with The Kind Pet's brand, and identifying potential for collaboration. This project will enhance learners' ability to conduct market research, analyze business compatibility, and develop actionable insights for business development.

The deliverables for this project include a comprehensive report. The report will list at least 40 potential independent pet store partners, including detailed profiles and contact information and will provide strategic recommendations for approaching these potential partners. The deliverables will demonstrate the learners' ability to conduct thorough market research and present actionable business insights.
