Pet Supplies Plus chain to enter Houston market
Pet Supplies Plus will open its first five stores in the Houston area by the end of the year, according to the company.
The Livonia, Mich.-based company has signed three franchise agreements for the Houston area, said Pet Supplies Plus director of franchise development Larry Flaherty.
Pet Supplies Plus stores are typically 5,000 to 10,000 square feet, compared to chains like Petco and PetSmart, which have spaces often around 20,000 square feet, Flaherty said. Pet Supplies Plus stores also are more likely to be in neighborhood strip centers.
After the first five Houston area stores open, the company plans to build 10 more in the area over the next year and a half or so, Flaherty said.
The first stores may likely be in The Woodlands, Katy and Sugar Land areas, he said.
Founded in 1988, Pet Supplies Plus has almost 300 locations, mostly in eastern states.
