Following what has been an unfathomably challenging year for all businesses, we are thrilled to share with you news that Earthwise Pet Franchise was named Pet Business Magazine’s Retailer of the Year! The award is a testament to our franchisees’ hard work and incredible service in the midst of trying times for us all.

The Pet Business awards are significant as they come from the pet industry’s most trusted trade media brand. To be recognized as the outstanding Pet Retailer of the Year in an exceedingly competitive marketplace is something that the EarthWise Pet Franchise family is understandably proud of.

The award recognizes the work, products, and services of outstanding pet stores in the US.

“Michael Seitz (EarthWise CEO) and his team have built EarthWise Pet into one of the country’s leading pet retail and service chains by taking the intimacy and passion of a local, owner-operated business and combining it with the vision and resources of a centralized organization made up of pet retail experts,” said Mark Kalaygian, publishing director and editor in chief of Pet Business. “Because of this balance, EarthWise Pet has been able to more than doubled in size over the past four years and serves as a great example of what neighborhood pet stores can accomplish with the right mix of products, marketing strategies and customer engagement.”

As the 2021 Retailer of the Year, EarthWise Pet was the subject of an in-depth profile and featured on the cover of the August issue of Pet Business. EarthWise Pet executive team was honored at the invitation-only dinner reception held during SuperZoo in Las Vegas.
