Pet Supplies Plus – Private Brand Product Manager
With more than 250 locations in 23 Eastern states, Pet Supplies Plus has earned the reputation as America’s favorite neighborhood pet store by offering a wide array of pet food, goods, grooming services and animal expertise in a cozy environment. With a friendly, pet-centered culture, where store managers and associates actually know the names of hundreds of their pet customers and their people companions, each Pet Supplies Plus is large enough to house a broad selection of food and equipment, yet small enough to still feel neighborly. The company, headquartered in Livonia, MI., has earned its success by understanding the unique bond between humans and their pet counterparts and their conviction that ‘People Don’t Own Pets, Pet’s Own People.’ For more information about Pet Supplies Plus, please visit http://www.petsuppliesplus.com
