Interview Q&A
How long have you been in business?
GREY2K USA was formed in 2001.
What is your primary product or service?
GREY2K USA is a non-profit organization working to pass laws to protect greyhounds nationwide.
How did you first become interested in your line of business? (if owner) - What is your background? (If owner or store manager)
Once we learned about what was happening to greyhounds at racetracks, we decided to try and help them.
How do you differentiate yourself from other businesses in your category and area?
Unlike many national non-profits, we are a grassroots group whose success depends on the willingness of our supporters to push up their shirt sleeves and actively help our campaigns. In one state for example, 5,000 people joined together to collect signatures and promote the passage of our ballot question to shut down two dog tracks. This is what it takes to help the greyounds!
How many locations do you have and do you have plans to expand?
We are headquartered in Massachusetts but work nationwide.
