ANN ARBOR, Mich., Feb. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Wag N' Wash, a specialty retailer focused on the wellbeing of pets, is hosting a weekend-long Neighbor Appreciation Event at its flagship location in Ann Arbor at 353 N Maple Rd. In keeping with the company's mission of caring for dogs and cats from head to tail, Wag N' Wash of Ann Arbor is a one-stop, neighborhood pet store that offers a full-service grooming salon, self-serve pet wash as well as thousands of high-quality, brand name products including food, treats, toys and other pet care essentials.

"Every time we have the opportunity to celebrate our neighbors, it serves as a way of expressing our gratitude for being a part of our brand," said Chris Rowland, CEO of Wag N' Wash and Pet Supplies Plus. "We're honored to have such a fantastic community behind us and encourage Ann Arbor-area residents to stop by, take advantage of the deals, and get to know some of the adoptable pets."

The Ann Arbor store made brand history when it opened last September as it marked the first location in Michigan and also serves as Wag N' Wash's flagship store. As community partners, the Wag N' Wash team continues to establish connections with other local community organizations to strengthen the bond between companion pets and their guardians through proper products, services, education, and supporting a healthy pet lifestyle.

Neighbors will also have the opportunity to use the full-service grooming salon and self-serve pet wash during the event. At Wag N' Wash, self-serve pet washes have a pet wash attendant who provides the pet parent with an apron, shampoo, conditioner, brushes and cologne spray. In addition to having a full-service grooming salon staffed by professional groomers, Wag N' Wash also offers specialty services like nail trims, ear cleanings, and more. Although services play a substantial role in the retailer's success, Wag N' Wash is equally committed to providing pet parents a wide selection of high-quality dog and cat food, treats, toys apparel, collars, leashes and other pet care necessities.

In February of 2022, Wag N' Wash was acquired by PSP Group, LLC which is also the parent company of Pet Supplies Plus, the largest independent pet franchise in North America with over 700 stores across the U.S. Since then, Wag N' Wash has doubled in store count with 24 locations currently open and 40 more in various stages of development. Although separate entities, the brands are rooted in and operate from the same proven business model and have the billion-dollar backing of 30+ years of franchise and industry experience.

Both Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N' Wash are actively seeking single and multi-unit owners to join their growing families.
