Restaurant Veterans Open Their Second Pet Supplies Plus Location in Rowlett, Texas

Pet Supplies Plus, the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise, is now open in Rowlett.

Located at 8809 Lakeview Parkway, the store offers 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.

The Rowlett store is owned by local entrepreneurs and longtime business partners, Todd McEvoy and Alan Mann. After more than 30 years in the restaurant industry, including owning and operating multiple concepts, Mann recently sold his portfolio and partnered with McEvoy to pursue a more community-focused venture. The two first met while working in restaurants and built their careers around hospitality and customer service. They were drawn to Pet Supplies Plus for its neighborhood feel and hands-on, customer-first approach.

Having opened their first location in Euless this past March, the Rowlett store marks the long-time business partners’ second location in the greater DFW-area with plans to open additional locations in the future.

“We’ve built our careers around taking care of people, and this is really an extension of that, but for pets,” said Mann. “Pet Supplies Plus gives us the opportunity to be part of the community on a more personal level, and Rowlett felt like the right place to continue growing.”

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 community partners, McEvoy and Mann, will work alongside local animal shelters, rescue organizations and non-profits to host year-round adoption events, fundraisers, pet food and product drives.

To welcome the community to the new Pet Supplies Plus location, McEvoy and Mann will host a weekend-long grand opening event featuring special prize giveaways, discounts and more. In addition, neighbors will have an opportunity to win either gift cards and receive a coupon.

At Pet Supplies Plus, neighbors are encouraged to bring their leashed pets in-store, where knowledgeable and caring team members are on-site to answer any questions, or offer tips. The experienced in-store team is extensively trained in the areas of natural and holistic foods and can answer a broad range of questions about dogs, cats, birds, reptiles and fish.
