Start a Pet Supplies "Plus" Franchise Business

Pet Supplies "Plus"

Be Part of a $43 Billion Industry with the PSP Pet Franchise
- the largest franchised specialty pet supply chain in the U.S.

Turn your pet's favorite store into your next great opportunity!

Almost two thirds of every household in the United States owns at least one pet. That’s over 71 million households. Pet owners today are spending more on their pets than ever before, and pet supplies are experiencing either the highest, or second highest annual growth rate of any retail category. Pet supply spending is expected to grow to $50 billion by 2010.

You can be part of this booming market by becoming a Pet Supplies "Plus" (PSP) franchisee. We are the largest franchised specialty Pet Supply retailer in the nation, with over 232 stores in 22 states. Pet Supplies "Plus" was founded in 1988 by Jack Berry and Harry Shallop, two veterans of the grocery industry. Together they pioneered the concept of bringing supermarket style retailing to the pet specialty industry.

PSP stores offer a unique combination of features that deliver a rewarding shopping experience to our customers and their pets, while allowing our franchisees to control overhead and build profits.

A business model built for success

The efficient PSP model allows our franchise partners to be successful in major markets with heavy competition, as well as in smaller markets with little or no competition. Our stores are modeled after supermarkets, with their open, well-lit aisles, thematic displays and shopping carts. They are bright, clean and very easy to shop - for people and their pets. Along with our wide selection of products and services, our customers save time and energy by shopping smaller, easy to navigate stores.

As a Pet Supplies "Plus" franchisee, you will benefit from the buying power that comes from being part of a group of hundreds of stores covering multiple states. PSP's experienced team of buyers works tirelessly to secure the best deals on the most popular products, so you can offer your customers great value while still realizing a solid profit. Our strong buying program, together with the built-in efficiencies of our inventory and distribution program, ensures that PSP franchisees are able to compete effectively in most retail environments.

PSP is seeking expansion opportunities with new and existing franchisees in markets throughout the U.S. We offer opportunities for entrepreneurs to become single-store PSP franchisees, or multiple-store owners. Over 2/3 of our franchisees are multiple store owners, which speaks not only to their success at store level, but to their long-term confidence in our business model. As a PSP franchisee, you'll be part of a dynamic group of entrepreneurs from all walks of life who have found an exciting new opportunity in the booming specialty pet supply market. Our franchisees represent an impressive cross section of business people with varied backgrounds, including school teachers, doctors, bankers, attorneys and corporate executives looking to be their own boss.
