"2020 was a challenging year for everyone, but it was also a year of unusual opportunity," says Jason Feifer, Entrepreneur editor-in-chief. "Franchises were able to be nimble and innovative, serving the needs of franchisees and customers in ways that will resonate for many years to come. We believe that, when we eventually look back on this time, we'll see it as a moment when many brands defined themselves for the future."

"We are honored to once again be ranked as a top franchise by Entrepreneur Magazine. Throughout this pandemic, the demand for all pets has been strong. We know pets bring comfort, companionship, and make our lives better," said President and CEO Joe Watson.

"At Petland, we focus on finding homes for pets and selling pet supplies. The human-animal bond is at the core of who we are and what we do. While 2020 has been a challenging year for many reasons, demand for pets and supplies has provided Petland stores around the world with the opportunity to find success.

People love pets and our customers love Petland."

Petland, Inc.'s Vice President of Business Development Steve Huggins stated, "Our consistent ranking in the Franchise 500 is a huge testament to our diligent and tireless group of franchisees and the success of our company store division. And it validates not only the strength of our operating system, but also the demand for what we do."
