(PRESS RELEASE) DORAL, FL — Uproot Clean announces a significant upsizing of its Petco distribution: due to strong consumer response and sales velocity during a recent test period, Petco is adding Uproot Clean’s branded sidekick display into an additional 560 stores beyond the initial pilot program.
The rapid decision to expand speaks to Uproot Clean’s breakout performance in pet specialty. The expanded rollout will now see three of Uproot Clean’s best selling products, including the flagship Uproot Cleaner Pro, into over 1,100 Petco locations in total.
“This pilot was our first foray into major pet specialty retail, and it was absolutely a proving ground,” said Dan Fallak, Wholesale Management Consultant for Uproot Clean. “We are thrilled to have exceeded expectations and velocity targets. The consumer appetite for effective pet hair cleanup products like ours confirms what we’ve long believed: the pet hair management category belongs in pet retail.”
This decision to expand so quickly is a strong vote of confidence from Petco’s buying team, who took what had been a limited test at 550+ doors and doubled down by adding another 560+ doors just a few short months later.
“A lot of credit goes to the Petco buying team for recognizing the potential of what Uproot Clean could do in their stores.” Added Mehul Patel, Founder of Uproot Clean. “They saw the opportunity in this new fast growing pet hair management category and acted on it quickly. We’re very excited about the long-term potential of our partnership with Petco and what this means for Uproot Clean as a leading innovative pet brand.”
Uproot Clean expects the expanded presence at Petco will further elevate its retail momentum and bring Uproot Clean’s category leadership into sharper focus.
