Wilmington and the Delaware Pharma-Finance Corridor
Wilmington is headquarters to AstraZeneca and hosts major operations for JPMorgan Chase, Bank of America, and dozens of credit card issuers (Delaware's favorable banking laws attract financial companies). Corporate employees relocating from Wilmington to Philadelphia (28 miles), Baltimore (75 miles), or New York (120 miles) use GoGoPets for dogs too large for airline cabins.
The University of Delaware in Newark (30 miles from Wilmington) generates graduate relocation demand each May.
Dover AFB and Delaware Beaches
Dover Air Force Base is the Air Force's largest aerial port and home to the Air Mobility Command - generating steady PCS traffic. GoGoPets serves Dover AFB families departing for bases across the country.
The Delaware beaches - Rehoboth Beach, Bethany Beach, Lewes - are popular retirement and seasonal destinations. Seasonal moves between Delaware beach towns and the Northeast are a GoGoPets specialty.
