Through this acquisition, Greene, Greene and Vigneault will grow their portfolio by 8 Pet Supplies Plus stores and four Wag N' Wash stores, bringing their totals store count to thirty-seven comprised of 28 Pet Supplies Plus stores and 9 Wag N' Wash stores.

"Over the last few years, we've grown with Pet Supplies Plus and more recently, with Wag N' Wash. This new acquisition is yet another opportunity to expand our multi-unit, multi-brand portfolio and serve more pet parents through our vast service offerings," said franchisee Ray Vigneault.

This acquisition will also grow Wag N' Wash's national store count from 14 to 24 with several dozen more in the pipeline to open within the next few years. Wag N' Wash is especially excited to open a corporate Wag N' Wash near their headquarters in Michigan this Spring.
