CHILLICOTHE, OH (Nov. 14, 2024) - Petland, Inc. has been ranked by Entrepreneur magazine in the top 20 percentile among 200 brands available for franchise opportunities across the globe. With its 2024 ranking at #38, Petland is considered a highly successful and reputable brand when it comes to entrepreneur’s wishing to invest in a franchise opportunity.

“We are grateful that Petland is again ranked among Entrepreneur’s top-ranked global franchise opportunities,” said Petland President and CEO Joe Watson. “For nearly 60 years, Petland has focused on delighting our guests as they engage with pets of all kinds; while also being a source of information for pet owners and offering the supplies they need for the care, health and comfort of their pets.”

With more than 300 stores in eight countries, as a franchisor, Petland remains steadfast in achieving its mission since its founding in 1967. “Petland has had a mission to match the right pet with the right person and meeting the needs of both,” Watson added. “Regardless of where you live in this world, the human-animal bond is the same. We have entered global markets where it is uncommon to have a pet, much less a pet living within the home. When we go back a year or two after opening in a community, we see positive changes in the culture when it comes to pets. As in the U.S., pets in these countries have become family members.”

In compiling its rankings, Entrepreneur magazine states it used its Franchise 500 formula and adjusted it to give extra weight to international size and growth. Other areas evaluated by the formula include costs and fees, franchisee support, brand strength, and financial strength and stability. Only companies seeking new franchisees outside the U.S. that had a minimum of five units open abroad as of July 2023 were considered.

In addition to the United States, Petland franchisees are located in Canada, China, Brazil, El Salvador, Mexico, South Africa and Saudi Arabia.
