powered pest control products for pets, family, home, and yard. The

Austin metropolitan
area.
AUSTIN,
Texas, May 20, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --
What started as one woman's mission to
save her dog, led to Shark Tank, and became a national phenomenon.
Wondercide created a new category in alternative, plant-powered
pest control products for pets, family, home, and yard. Sales for
plant-based pest control products have tripled over the last two
years reflecting a growing consumer preference for alternatives to
traditional pest control. And the pet care
industry boom continues, accounting for
$246 billion globally last year, with
projections of reaching $427 billion
over the next nine years. Wondercide is helping to drive this with
year-over-year double-digit revenue growth since the company's
inception.
"Wondercide has been protecting pets and
families for 15 years, and it's just the beginning for us. We're
working to establish a legacy that will be here for the generations
to come," said Brad Locke,
Wondercide President.
So Wondercide is on the move. Celebrating its 15th
anniversary, the company relocated its headquarters to 2200
Chisholm Trail Rd., Suite 160, in Round
Rock as of April 29. A
ribbon-cutting ceremony was also held with the Round Rock Chamber of Commerce on May 16. The Austin-Round
Rock metropolitan ranks #1 as the best-performing city in
the U.S., according to Milken
Institute's 2024 Best-Performing Cities list.
"We are thrilled to be part of the vibrant Round Rock community in the greater
Austin metro area for many
reasons," said Brad Locke,
Wondercide President. "This growing city has an influx of talented
people and ideas. There's a friendly, inclusive, and creative
culture combined with natural beauty, parks, and many other
opportunities for outdoor recreation. It has all the elements of a
great place to live and work."
"The Round Rock Chamber proudly extends a warm welcome to
Wondercide as they expand their operations into our vibrant
community, and we congratulate them on their continued growth and
success," said Jordan Robinson,
President & CEO, Round Rock Chamber. "We are honored Wondercide
has chosen Round Rock for their
new facility, and we eagerly anticipate the positive impact they
will bring to our thriving business ecosystem. We look forward to
fostering a partnership that not only benefits Wondercide, but also
contributes to the continued economic vitality of Round Rock."
The new location more than triples the office space and
warehouse capacity, allowing the company the room it needs to
continue to self-manufacture, pack, and ship from the new
state-of-the-art production and fulfillment facility. The company
plans to hire new positions to keep up with demand.
"We are excited to see the success of Wondercide and celebrate
their expansion to Round Rock.
This further underscores the region's economic vitality with
Wondercide's growth and excellent employee environment. The region
is stronger with another great partner," said Ed Latson, CEO of Opportunity Austin.
Wondercide's modernized space was designed with wellness and
environmental considerations in mind. A variety of spaces foster
creative, productive, and collaborative work. The smart office
includes a calming white noise system and a wellness and nursing
room that offers a tranquil, private place to recharge.
Additionally, team members enjoy dogs in the office, which
is proven to offer an array of benefits, including lower
self-reported stress at work and increased happiness, making
pet-friendly policies an instrument for better employee work-life
balance.
Luna's Lounge, named after the dog who inspired Wondercide, is
an open, expansive shared space large enough for company-wide
huddles. Advanced video conferencing captures every participant for
dynamic discussions. This also allows for seamless meetings between
virtual and in-office team members to increase communication and
engagement.
"Wondercide has been protecting pets and families for 15 years,
and it's just the beginning for us. We're working to establish a
legacy that will be here for the generations to come," said
Brad Locke, Wondercide
President.
