About Pet Supplies Plus

Pet Supplies Plus is the largest independent pet retail franchise in the US with 650+ stores, founded in 1988 in Redford, Michigan. The brand offers a neighborhood pet store experience with a comprehensive selection of pet food, supplies, and services including grooming and self-wash stations.

Pet Supplies Plus' neighborhood store positioning — smaller and more personal than PetSmart or Petco — creates a community-oriented shopping experience that big-box competitors struggle to replicate.
