Pet Supplies Plus Franchise Overview
Pet Supplies Plus (PSP) is a supermarket for dogs and cats, known for “making it easier for our neighbors to get better products for their pets.” With over 730 locations across 43 states, the stores feature a streamlined design for easy navigation through the industry’s broadest selection of natural foods, hard goods, and pet services. Each location is large enough to offer everything needed to pamper pets, yet small enough to feel like home.
The company thrives by understanding the unique bond between humans and their pets, providing convenience, value, and fun in every store. At Pet Supplies Plus, we’re passionate about pets too. Our stores are located in busy neighborhood centers, ideally with food anchors, and range from 3,500 to 8,500 square feet in second or third generation spaces. This intimate size allows our team to deliver exceptional neighborly service. We’re proud to be ranked the #1 Pet Retail Franchise Opportunity in Entrepreneur Magazine’s Franchise 500 for the fifth consecutive year!
