Some changes are coming for Wag N’ Wash locations across Colorado. Pet Supplies Plus recently acquired the emerging natural pet food, self-wash, and grooming franchise.
Wag N’ Wash already provides fresh-baked dog treats, natural food, supplements, full-service grooming, and self-wash facilities. With the acquisition, the stores will now begin to offer more assortments of products that are currently featured at Pet Supplies Plus. No changes are expected at area Pet Supplies Plus locations.
Each brand will continue to operate as separate entities to provide pet product knowledge and personalized service.
“The acquisition presents mutual benefits for franchisees, neighbors and guests of both brands,” said Pet Supplies Plus CEO Chris Rowland. He noted in a press release that new and existing franchise owners will have the opportunity to open a store under the Wag N’ Wash or Pet Supplies Plus name, depending on what makes most sense for the market.
“Being under the Pet Supplies Plus umbrella company allows Wag N’ Wash to unlock a new level of purchasing power, funding to advance expansion and collective negotiation for strategic placement in territories that may not make sense for a Pet Supplies Plus store,” Rowland said. “Because Wag N’ Wash’s specialty products and services are focused mainly on dogs, Pet Supplies Plus can further develop its presence in current and new markets without interfering with the neighbor’s expectations of our brand.”
Pet Supplies Plus has more than 600 stores across the U.S., and Wag N’ Wash has more than 15 locations around the country including nine in Colorado.
