Mission
The Gopher Co. — Business Plan
What we're building
The Gopher Co. ("Go-pher-ing for you") is a local errand service run by flexible neighborhood "gophers" — often stay-at-home family members. Errands are the core of the business: in towns with limited transportation, getting groceries, prescriptions, mail, and general errands handled during the day is a genuine need. We handle the tasks busy people can't fit into their 8–5 day: grocery runs, prescription pickups, mail drop-off/pickup, and general errands. Porch-side laundry is an additional service (drop it off on the porch, get it back clean) — part of the offering, not the centerpiece. The service can be tailored to farming and ranching communities — feed and supply pickups, parts runs, and prescriptions for those who can't leave the field or livestock.
Availability (owner decision): no service on Fridays; weekend service (Sat/Sun) is available at an additional fee.
Who it's for
- Busy 8–5 workers, seniors, and anyone without the time, transportation, or ability to run errands during the day.
