Join the growing $40 Billion specialty Pet Supply industry! Pet Supplies "Plus" is the nation's largest franchised specialty pet supply retailer, with over 230 stores in 23 states. Our smaller store sizes provide a more convenient shopping experience for our customers, while allowing us to enter trade areas where our big-box warehouse style competitors can't. Even though our stores are smaller, we carry a larger variety of products, at retail prices that will often meet, or beat, our competitors.
