America's Largest Franchised Pet Supply Retailer
Our Company
Be part of the growing $40 Billion Industry. Over 2/3 of today's households own pets, and their owners are spending more on them than ever before. Pet Supplies "Plus" has been franchising for over 15 years, and is the largest franchised specialty Pet Supply retailer in the nation, with over 225 stores in 21 states.
Our efficient business model allows our franchise partners to be successful in major markets with heavy competition, or smaller markets with little or no competition.
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 industry. 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 and a fun place to shop. Every year, more than 1.6 million dogs, cats and other pets visit Pet Supplies "Plus" with their owners.
Our Stores
The average PSP store is 7,500 to 9,000 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. Although our stores are smaller, we carry the same extensive item selection as the warehouse style superstores.
Our efficient third party distribution system with twice per week deliveries at most locations, provide 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 your profit threshold. 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 smaller markets that may have little or no competition, but can effectively compete in major metro areas, as well.
Buying Power
Although each store is independently owned, our franchise partners benefit from the buying power of over 225 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.

Pet Supplies "Plus" stands behind its franchise partners with a comprehensive support services programs, including real estate and site selection assistance, store design & layout, operational support, store manager training, buying and merchandising, advertising, POS hosting, and publicity.
