The retail pet supply category has consistently been one of the fastest growing categories for retail sales, exceeding $53 Billion in 2009.
Pet Supplies "Plus" has been franchising for over 22 years, and is one of 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 22 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 stores sizes and efficient business model, we are able to enter smaller markets that may have little or no competition, but our stores compete effectively in major metro areas, as well.
Buying Power
Each of our 54 franchisee groups 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.
