Loyal Biscuit

What Loyal Biscuit does

Loyal Biscuit Co. (also operating as 'LBC') is a Maine-based specialty pet supply retailer founded circa 2009 by Heidi Neal and Joel Neal, headquartered in Rockland, ME. The company operates six brick-and-mortar retail locations across Maine — in Bath, Belfast, Brewer, Camden/Rockport, Rockland, and Waterville — complemented by a Shopify-powered e-commerce storefront offering curbside pickup and shipping for most items (free over $75). Its core offering is healthy, natural, holistic, and human-grade pet food and supplies for dogs and cats, distributed across dry, wet/canned, raw frozen, and dehydrated/freeze-dried formats from over 30 third-party brands including Fromm, Orijen, Acana, Stella & Chewy's, Open Farm, and Weruva, alongside treats, chews, toys, health/wellness products, apparel, collars, beds, and general accessories.

The business generates revenue through three primary streams: in-store and online retail product sales, self-serve dog wash services priced at $18 per dog (or $13 per dog under a multi-dog discount), and a customer loyalty program featuring Astro Buy 12 Get 1 Free rewards and Fenway's Loyalty Point Program. A secondary community engagement layer, the Fenway Fund (established in 2019), distributes bi-annual grants to 501c3 Maine animal welfare organizations funded by proceeds from all six retail locations. Distribution is exclusively domestic within the United States, serving the New England region with a single-state concentration in Maine. The company is a subsidiary of Earthwise Pet, which manages hiring across all Loyal Biscuit store locations.
