Petland Continues International Expansion

Chillicothe, Ohio — Chillicothe, Ohio-based Petland Inc. is expanding its international reach into the Middle East North Africa region. In the last 2 years, Petland has opened more than 20 new locations in international markets. Within the next year, the pet store chain plans to open stores in Saudi Arabia and has signed a master franchise agreement to develop stores in Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Turkey, Qatar, Lebanon, Kuwait and Bahrain.

“Finding the right partner takes time. We spent more than two years working with a family to determine the Petland Master Franchise was the right fit for a partnership,” says Steve Huggins, Petland’s vice president of business development and international relations. 

Various members of the Petland team will be visiting Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, where they will be planning the launch of the first Petland pilot store in the MENA region. They will assist with site location, pet selection, merchandise and training.
