Pet Valu Expands Boldly Across Canada | Toronto News

Pet Valu is on a bold expansion spree, targeting over 1,200 stores across Canada—with recent moves into Alberta and Quebec and a laser focus on rural markets with little competition. Despite flat same-store sales and a slight traffic dip, they’re doubling down on new locations, confident in their neighborhood model that thrives on repeat pet food buyers. The company’s franchise-heavy strategy, revived since the late ‘80s, just smashed its own record for store resales—while quietly gaining ground in the specialty pet retail space, which dominates half of Canada’s pet market. Their growth isn’t reliant on economic booms—it’s fueled by smart location choices, cost-efficient logistics, and digital channels outpacing the industry.
