Local Husband-Wife Duo to Open New Pet Supplies Plus Location in North Durham on July 14

Neighborhood Pet Retailer Brings Best-Price Guaranteed Products, Grooming, Self-Wash Stations and Friendly Service to Local Pet Parents

DURHAM, NC., July 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pet Supplies Plus, the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise, will open in Durham on July 14. Located at 5108 North Roxboro Street, the store will offer a wide selection of pet essentials for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and small animals, along with services including grooming, self-pet wash stations, and carry-out assistance.

Meet the Local Franchise Owners:

The new store is owned by Isaac and Karri Corpe, a husband-and-wife duo and local entrepreneurs. With a background in supply chain management, Isaac always aspired to become a franchise owner early in his career. As pet owners and advocates, Isaac and Karri found a perfect match with Pet Supplies Plus. Recognizing Durham as an underserved market with not many pet-focused retail options, the Corpe's are committed to bringing a neighborhood-centric solution to the community while serving as a one-stop destination for pet families. Karri, who previously worked as an engineer, will serve as general manager where she will oversee the store's day-to-day operations and help create a welcoming experience for every customer.

"Karri and I are excited to bring Pet Supplies Plus to Durham where every customer and pet is treated like family," said Isaac Corpe. "As pet owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to have a trusted place to find quality products, expert guidance, and impeccable service. We look forward to having our new business become part of the community and helping local families give their pets the best possible care."

Pet Supplies Plus focuses on providing a unique in-store experience for all of its new "neighbors" (the term Pet Supplies Plus uses for customer). As a community partner, the Corpes will work alongside local animal shelters, rescue organizations and non-profits to host year-round adoption events, fundraisers, pet food and product drives.

Grand Opening Celebration:

To welcome the community to the new Pet Supplies Plus location, Isaac and Karri Corpe will host a weekend-long grand opening event featuring a $10 reward for any $30 purchase, special prize giveaways, discounts, and more.
