Phillips Pet Food & Supplies will begin distributing the brand’s entire product line to independent pet retailers this month.

The company has partnered with Southeast Pet, expanding its presence throughout the Southeastern United States.

Choice Pet Products will distribute the pet CBD company’s products throughout Florida.

The pet specialty franchise was ranked No. 22 on Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500® list.

The independent retail channel allows processors to showcase their ultra-premium products and newest innovations.

According to the distributor, consumer demand for these formats is rising.

RELEX’s solutions will be implemented in the pet specialty retailer’s distribution centers and stores in the Southeast.

The retailer will open its first retail location in the Toronto area and plans to open 200 other stores in the country.

Several pet companies have partnered with the cloud-based tech company to expand their presence in the independent pet retail channel.

The retailers have collectively signed more than 115 franchise agreements in 2022.
