Our Draw

Petland is a family destination, drawing pet-loving customers from a wide geographic range. Our high traffic counts are higher per square foot than any other specialty retailer. Grand openings alone draw thousands of visitors who are excited about pets and our products. People simply enjoy being in Petland stores and interacting with pets. Last but not least, our community service efforts draw steady crowds from school visits, training classes, charity events and children’s birthday parties.

Our Excitement

Petland is retail entertainment with vitality. Its people and its pets combine to create a fun and interactive environment. Petland stores are fully staffed with expertly trained pet counselors who uphold Petland’s mission of matching the right pet with the right person and meeting the needs of both.

Purrr-fect Opportunity

Pet ownership is at its highest level in the United States and many other countries are now following the course of this westernized trend. The U.S. pet industry is nearly a $38.5 billion business. Historically, the pet industry has been recession-proof. Studies show that the need for pets in the marketplace is not slowing, and you, as a Petland franchisee, can be there to fill it.
