## Story

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Aug. 07, 2026 // GLOBE NEWSWIRE // -- Pet Butler announced that franchise owners from across the country attended the NIU Naperville Conference Center for its 2026 National Training Conference. Guided by the theme, "Adapt. Evolve. Excel.," the event focused on education, collaboration, and innovation for franchise owners.

At the heart of the conference was a simple goal: helping franchise owners return home with practical ideas, stronger relationships, and strategies. Through training, peer collaboration, and business planning, attendees explored ways to drive growth and better serve customers.

That commitment to franchisee success was reflected during Pet Butler's awards celebration, where owners were recognized for achievements in revenue, customer retention, commercial development, and operational excellence. Several locations were also honored for reaching significant annual revenue milestones.

The conference also included a community-focused team-building project in which franchise owners created handmade dog toys from recycled materials for donation to a local animal rescue, reflecting Pet Butler's commitment to pets and the communities it serves.

"Every year, our National Training Conference reminds us that our greatest strength is our franchise owners," said Angela Meyers, President of Pet Butler. "When we bring our network together to learn, collaborate, and share ideas, everyone benefits—from our franchise owners and their teams to the customers and communities they serve. Investing in their success continues to be one of our highest priorities."
