About the Authors
Joseph Nigro's singular success story unfurled under the vast umbrella of the pet care industry. After owning the independent pet retailer Pet Nosh for 17 years, Joe and his partner agreed to sell their stores to the Petco Company for $19.1 million in 1996. Finding himself semi-retired at the age of 36, Joe is now a small business consultant and personal coach specializing in retailing. He has done consulting work in the pet care trade for such giants as the aforementioned Petco, as well as smaller, independent pet-related businesses.
Nicholas Nigro labored in every imaginable capacity through all 17 years of Pet Nosh's existence, actively participating in conceiving innovative store promotions. After Pet Nosh sold its network of stores to the Petco chain, Nick joined the eBay revolution in its infancy, selling myriad collectibles in cyberspace.
