Pet Supplies Plus has committed to opening 69 stores across eight states.

Twenty-five of the commitments are with current franchise owners and the rest are with new owners, DBusiness reports.

The stores will be located in Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York and Texas.

“It’s incredible to watch our franchise lead in one of the hottest industries out there,” Pet Supplies Plus CEO Chris Rowland was quoted saying. “Not only are our existing owners increasing their number of locations, but we’re also adding new owners to our pack who are eager to cater to the growing demand of pet ownership.”

Pet Supplies Plus currently has over 560 stores across three dozen states.

In March, the company was acquired by Franchise Group Inc. in a $700 million deal.
