Independent pet retailer Pet Supplies Plus with over 600 stores in 39 states has acquired Wag N' Wash, a natural pet food, self-wash, and grooming franchise with over 15 locations. "Each brand will continue to operate as separate entities", a press release announced. All Wag N' Wash corporate team members will remain at Wag Central. Wag N' Wash original founders Jef Strauss and Dan Remus will stay on for a minimum of two years.
"The acquisition presents mutual benefits for franchisees, neighbours and guests of both brands," said Pet Supplies Plus CEO Chris Rowland. He noted 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.
