## Story

Pet Evolution is making its debut in Michigan. The brand has awarded local entrepreneurs Ryan and Trish Gusick with a Regional Developer License focusing on the Greater Metro Detroit area and Grand Rapids.

With three locations currently open, and seven more locations in development, now is the perfect time to bring this exciting concept to Michigan. Hoping to lay his roots in his home territory of Northville, Gusick has invested in the brand as a regional developer.

Gusick had considered going into franchising with other companies; however, after building great connections with people from the Pet Evolution leadership team, he ultimately decided to get into the pet industry. Beyond the business model, Gusick and wife, Trish, were drawn to the passion the leadership team has for the brand. The couple aims to open a flagship location close to home in order to be hands-on from the start and work closely with their community.

“The whole team at Pet Evolution has such passion for the customers, the franchisees, and of course, the pets,” added Trish. “We are so excited to work together to grow this brand and bring it to families in Michigan.”
