We offer several year-round ways to help you discover what’s new—and cool—in the convenience channel.
From dogs to cats and fish to reptiles, about 70% of households in the United States own a pet—that’s 90.5 million homes, according to the American Pet Products Association. It should come as no surprise that pet owners spent $50 billion for pet food and treats in 2021, a growing market that is not slowing down.
Pet products continue to become more innovative and enticing, which is why convenience stores are jumping on the opportunity to attract pet parents with food, treats, supplies, toys, accessories, vitamins and grooming aids. The largest demographic of pet owners already shop your stores, sometimes multiple times a week and day: millennials (32%), baby boomers (27%) and gen Xers (24%).
