Be part of the growing $53 Billion Pet Supply industry with America’s largest specialty pet supply retailer…

Pet Supplies “Plus”

The retail pet supply category has consistently been one of the fastest growing categories for retail sales, exceeding $53 Billion in 2009.

Over 2/3 of U. S. households today own pets, and their owners are spending more on them than ever before.

Pet Supplies “Plus” has been franchising for over 18 years, and we are the largest franchised specialty Pet Supply retailer in the nation, with over 240 stores in 23 states. 

Our Company

Pet Supplies “Plus” opened their first store in Redford, Michigan in 1988.  We pioneered the concept of bringing “supermarket style” retailing to the Pet Supply category.  As we have continued to grow over the past 20 years, we have remained true to our original concept:  To create clean, attractive stores that offer pet owners great values, exceptional service, and a fun place to shop.  Every year, more than 1.8 million dogs, cats and other pets visit Pet Supplies “Plus” with their owners.

Our Stores

The average PSP store is 8,000 to 10,000 square feet – about half the size of our “big box” competitors.  Our stores are bright, clean, well lit, and have uncluttered aisles that are easy to shop.  Even though our stores are smaller, we carry the same extensive item selection as the larger warehouse style superstores. 

Our efficient third party distribution system with twice per week deliveries at most locations, provide our franchisees with greater item selection at reduced inventory levels.    Our smaller store sizes significantly reduce our start-up costs, inventory, occupancy and other operating costs, which in turn lower the profit threshold for our stores.

Most of our stores are located in shopping centers with other high-traffic, convenience oriented retailers.   Due to our smaller store sizes and efficient business model, we are able to enter many secondary markets that may have little or no competition, but we effectively compete in major metro areas, as well.

Buying Power

Although each store is independently owned, our franchisees benefit from the buying power of over 240 stores, which assures our owners the best cost of goods available.  We have developed solid relationships with some of the leading manufacturers in the pet industry, so our franchise partners can offer their retail customers fantastic values on all their Pet Supply needs.

• Real Estate & Site Selection assistance
