<< Hello, Can you help me to find the names of store chains for pet stores in
the United States? I am particularly interested in the smaller chains, 5 to
15
to 35 or so stores in the chain. (Smaller than Petco and PetSmart.) I have
used the Yellow Pages and done other searches online and only a few come up.

Is there a directory somewhere that would identify the chains?

I have worked with buyer/distributors who successfully sell our products
mostly in their own chain stores in several states. We also sell at a few
independent chains in the U.S. Our beautiful products are really doing well.
We
have an excellent line of items and would like to branch out, but I am in
need of
assistance. I am aware of the trade organization such as the manufacturers
association and so I went there and bought boothes, and attended their trade
shows. At such an event, you may learn of a store by talking to people.

***Why not ask your retail customers the names of their favorite reps?***

What I am seeking is a resource that would give me the names of the store
chains in Florida, or New York, and so on in other states, so I can contact
the
stores directly and tell them about our products, sales volume, pricing
discounts, etc.

All I need are the names and I can research the rest.

If anyone knows the names of any stores that carry pet products, for example
like a Pets Plus, who have any chains in your area, I would be grateful to
hear. You can write me directly at splash10@aol.com. I would be happy to
send
you a gift of something special for your pet to thank you. ;-D >>


***I guess bribery is allowed on this list... and this does not look like a
violation of the "offer to sell" policy...so ok.***
