With Americans spending $34 billion this year on their pets, it's no wonder that franchisor Pet Supplies "Plus", a company based in Livonia, Michigan, sees great potential for growth. In the past, grocery stores accounted for 90% of consumer spending on pets but pet specialty stores have taken a larger share of the pet market in recent years, leaving supermarkets with only 60% now. Looking to carve out more of the market for its franchisees, Pet Supplies "Plus" plans to open 30 stores in 2004 to build its total number to more than 200 stores. Only the Petco and Petsmart chains, which are publicly traded, have more stores. Many of Pet Supplies "Plus" franchisees are multi-unit owners.
