The Puppy Pantry - Franchise
Your Pups are our Passion!
The Puppy Pantry is a retail pet operation that offers a variety of foods, treats and supplies, pet grooming and boarding & daycare for its pet-loving customers in and around Buford, Georgia.
Founded in April of 2012 by Brian and Heather Nichols and their parents, Tom and Betsy Poundstone, The Puppy Pantry began as a small, 1500 sq. ft. retail space with a small grooming table, moderate product mix and a big dream. One year later, The Puppy Pantry had seen such success we were able to triple the size! With this growth spurt, the retail area grew to 3,000 square feet, the grooming room doubled and could new accommodate 3 busy groomers, and a 1500 square foot boarding and daycare space was added. The success has continued and here at The Puppy Pantry, we have enjoyed every minute of spreading our love for pets, sharing our knowledge of quality pet products and providing premium care for our customers' furry family members.
