RUFFIN'S PET CENTER is a unique combination of a traditional pet store and a discount, pet-food outlet. The union of these two types of stores increases the strength of both. The high traffic of a pet store increases the on-going pet food sales. This strong concept, combined with great office support, equals a successful franchise.
