Did you know?

• Pet Supplies "Plus" have average weekly gross sales of $47,769
• More than 66 percent (66%) of current PSP franchisees own more than one store

The Opportunity

• The retail pet supply category has consistently been one of the fastest growing categories for retail sales, exceeding $53 Billion in 2009
• Over 2/3 of U. S. households today own pets, and their owners are spending more on them than ever before.
• Pet Supplies “Plus” has been franchising for over 18 years
• Pet Supplies "Plus" is the largest franchised specialty Pet Supply retailer in the nation, with over 240 stores in 23 states
• Every year, more than 1.8 million dogs, cats and other pets visit Pet Supplies “Plus” with their owners.

The Stores

• The average PSP store is 8,000 to 10,000 square feet – about half the size of “big box” competitors
• The stores are bright, clean, well lit, and have uncluttered aisles that are easy to shop. Even though the stores are smaller, they carry the same extensive item selection as the larger warehouse style superstores
• An efficient third party distribution system, provides franchisees with greater item selection at reduced inventory levels
• Smaller store sizes significantly reduce our start-up costs, inventory, occupancy and other operating costs, which in turn lower the profit threshold for franchisees

Most stores are located in shopping centers with other high-traffic, convenience oriented retailers. Due to smaller store sizes and efficient business model, Pet Supplies "Plus" is able to enter many secondary markets that may have little or no competition, while effectively competing in major metro areas, as well.

The Power of a System

Although each store is independently owned, franchisees benefit from the buying power of over 240 stores, which assures owners the best cost of goods available. Solid relationships with some of the leading manufacturers in the pet industry enables franchisees to offer their retail customers fantastic values on all their Pet Supply needs.
