Pet Supplies Plus
Minus the hassle, plus the love.
Franchise Overview
Overview
Pet Supplies Plus is one of the largest specialty pet retail franchises in the United States, known for its convenient neighborhood locations and wide range of products for a variety of pets. The brand focuses on providing a friendly, local experience alongside a curated assortment of pet food, supplies, and services. Franchisees benefit from a non-grocery, recession-resistant sector, as pet ownership levels and pampering trends continue to rise nationwide.
Key Features
- Franchises offer a robust selection of services and products unlike big-box competitors:
- Self-serve dog wash stations
- Grooming salons and pet nutrition consultations
- Carefully selected pet foods & treats (natural, grain-free, specialty diets)
- Live animals (where allowed) and supplies for dogs, cats, birds, fish, and small animals
User Experience
Customers appreciate the neighborhood feel, knowledgeable staff, and convenience through online ordering, curbside pickup, and home delivery. Stores are community-driven, with frequent local pet adoption events and a "pet-friendly" atmosphere that families love. Franchisees enjoy owner-operator flexibility, strong corporate support, and a proven retail system designed to maximize efficiency and customer satisfaction.
Market Opportunity
With pet ownership rates at all-time highs, consumer spending on pet care, nutrition, and wellness continues to grow. Pet Supplies Plus positions franchisees in both stand-alone and strip center spaces within established residential areas, capitalizing on the demand for convenience and quality. Flexible formats and diverse revenue streams offer stability and long-term growth potential for motivated entrepreneurs in the booming pet retail industry.
