Jack Berry and Harry Shallop opened their first supermarket-style pet food and supply store in Redford, Michigan, in the late 1980’s, and by 1990, they were franchising Pet Supplies Plus. In addition to food and supply sales, the stores offer services such as grooming, self-serve pet washes and adoptions events.
Who We Are
For over 30 years, Pet Supplies Plus has been a leader in the pet supplies retail industry and our mission to be America’s Favorite Neighborhood Pet Store has never wavered. We believe that while many brands come and go, one thing that will never go out of style is the love we have for our pets, the extent we will go to get them what they need and the importance of being the go-to store for expert advice and best-in-class customer experience. This belief has enabled us to grow to over 560 stores in 36 states. What makes a Pet Supplies Plus franchise opportunity even more remarkable is that a Pet Supplies Plus franchise store averages $2.2M* dollars annually.
Pet Supplies Plus is proud to be ranked #21 in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 and #1 for the pet industry for the seventh year in a row.
