Petland, Inc. is a privately held Ohio corporation founded
in 1967. Initially, Petland owned and operated retail pet
stores in Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. In the early 1970's,
Petland began franchising pet stores and entered the business
of wholesale distribution for pet-related merchandise. In
the late 1980's, Petland expanded its presence in Canada and
entered international markets in Japan, France, and in the
1990's to Chile and in 2001 to South Africa through master
franchise agreements. Petland currently has 140 stores in
the United States and 63 in foreign markets. More than 25
new domestic stores are scheduled to open within the next
twelve months.
Petland Canada is a Canadian owned full line pet store franchise
and as a Master Franchisor, Petland Canada has the rights
to Canada. The development of this franchise has been due
to Robert and Barbara Brissette who have owned and operated
the Canadian Petland chain since 1979.
