as proven by Pet Supplies Plus’s newest accolade as one of Entrepreneur’s Fastest-Growing Franchises in 2021, ranking at 61st of 150 Franchises. This is the brand’s second big win with Entrepreneur in 2021 after receiving the publication’s top in category ranking for pet franchises in this year’s Franchise 500 list. This is our 2nd consecutive year winning this award and 7th year winning the Franchise 500 top in category.
The fastest-growing rankings are based on the number of new franchise units added in the United States and Canada from July 2019 to July 2020, as verified by Entrepreneur magazine, with ties broken based on percentage growth.

Our Best Friends Are Big Business.
We’ve always fetched the best for pets and the people who love them. From a wide selection of high-quality food and accessories to professional grooming services and friendly expertise, our stores have consistently put customer experience at the center of everything we do. It’s who we are—and it’s a smart business strategy. According to marketing company Acosta’s press release about pet industry growth during COVID-19, pet food sales were up more than six percent in 2020. Colin Stewart, Executive Vice President, Business Intelligence at Acosta, called out shifting consumer demand as a key trend. “As pet ownership continues to soar, retailers should capitalize on industry growth by honing in on their competitive advantages and competing from all directions — price, assortment and convenience,” he said.
