From Family Garage to Treat Empire: The PNN Home Takeover

Running a small business from home sounds cute, doesn’t it?

You imagine:

A tidy little workspace

A laptop

Maybe a nice cup of tea

What you don’t imagine… is your entire house slowly being taken over by dog treats.

Welcome to life at Polly’s Natural Nibbles.

When “A Bit of Stock” Becomes… ALL the Stock

As PNN started growing (and we mean really growing), one small issue crept in…

Where on earth do we put everything?!

More events = more stock

Bigger events = a lot more stock

Online orders = surprise… EVEN MORE stock

Before we knew it, the garage had gone from: 

“Family storage space”

to

“Full-scale dog treat warehouse with occasional sightings of a bicycle”

The Great Garage Situation

At one point, our garage contained:

Antlers, Rope Toys and Cow Trachea

Tools

Kids’ toys

And probably a missing sock or two

It was chaos.

Nothing says “professional dog treat business” quite like rummaging past a lawnmower to find a bag of rabbit ears.

Also… turns out “dry and sealed” is quite important when your business involves natural treats. Who knew?

Another “Great Idea”

Now, in PNN history, a “great idea” usually means one thing:

Someone suggests it

Someone else ends up building it

This time, the target was the old lean-to at the side of the house.

Previously described as:

“A space”

“Kind of sheltered”

“Definitely not waterproof”

Perfect, right?

Operation: Make It Legit

What started as a “quick fix” turned into…

A full-blown DIY project:

New roof

New walls

New door

Electrics installed

Probably a few arguments over measurements

And after a few weekends of hard graft (and a lot of “that’ll do”), we had it:

A proper, dry, secure stock room

Built by the PNN team

Powered mostly by determination and snacks

Plot Twist: Still Not Big Enough

Here’s the funny part…

We built more space.

Filled it.

And now… we need more space again.

It’s like the treats are multiplying when we’re not looking.

The Dream Is Getting Real

For years, we’ve talked about getting a shop.

You know… a proper space where:

Customers can visit

Products are displayed nicely

The garage can go back to being… a garage

And now?

It’s actually starting to feel real.

The Side Effects No One Talks About

Running PNN hasn’t just grown the business…

It’s changed our home.

The garage? Gone

The spare space? Gone

The “we’ll just keep a few boxes here”? Absolutely gone

Our house now proudly screams:

“These people definitely sell dog treats.”

And honestly? We wouldn’t have it any other way.

The Real Story

Behind every product, every event, every order…

There’s:

Late nights

Weekend builds

Family effort

And a home that’s been completely taken over by a dream

The PNN “empire” might have started small…

But it’s definitely not staying that way.

Next goal: Get the shop… and maybe (just maybe) get the garage back.From Family Garage to Treat Empire: The PNN Home Takeover
