Mounds Pet Food Warehouse

Ownership

Mounds is 100% employee-owned, having been sold to its employees in January 2015. The company has deep Madison-area roots, founded by Ken Mack who was determined to keep it privately held and locally owned.

Local Sourcing

Mounds' dog and cat food is made right here in the Midwest, and treats and chews are sourced mostly from local suppliers in Wisconsin and the Midwest. However, the extent of local sourcing across all product categories is unclear.

Community Involvement

Mounds is well known for community involvement with local humane societies, service animal groups, rescue groups, and police K-9 units, and encourages local non-profit animal groups to sign up for in-store events. Mounds hosts several pet-related events each year including support for area humane societies and service animal groups.

Local Workforce

Reviews are mixed. Positive reviews highlight great support systems and employee growth opportunities, but negative reviews mention being understaffed, overworked, underpaid, underappreciated, and infrequent wage raises. Benefits include health plan, dental, short-term/long-term disability, employee discount and 401(k).

Revenue Retention

As a 100% employee-owned company, all revenue benefits employees who own the business. Being locally operated in Wisconsin with multiple regional locations means most revenue likely stays within the community rather than flowing to distant corporate headquarters.
