Led by CEO Mike Seitz, the EarthWise Pet Franchise continues to grow in size and stature in the pet industry, resulting in our franchise winning the 2021 Retailer of the Year Award by Pet Business! According to Mark Kalaygian, publishing director and editor-in-chief of Pet Business, “Michael Seitz and his team have built EarthWise Pet into one of the country’s leading pet retail and service chains by taking the intimacy and passion of a local, owner-operated business and combining it with the vision and resources of a centralized organization made up of pet retail experts.
We took a few minutes to catch up with Mike Anderson, owner and operator of EarthWise Pet Bentonville.
On EarthWise Pet winning Retailer of the Year, Mike said “well, obviously, we’re absolutely thrilled to be a part of this dynamic, special organization. It’s great to see Mike’s hard work paying off and we know that with him at the helm our store and our owners have a great future ahead of them.”
Mike has only just recently come into the EarthWise Pet Franchise family, completing a purchase of the Bentonville pet supplies and pet grooming store in late summer of 2021. Nonetheless, he’s excited about the news and knows that it will be great for pet parents in the Bentonville, Arkansas area as well.
“Our customers know that we’re a neighborhood pet store built to help pet people with more than just their products. Our staff are highly trained pet nutritionists, our groomers are some of the best in the area, and the service, support, and experience you get at an EarthWise store is unmatched. It’s great that a publication as big as Pet Business has recognized this as well and we look forward to continuing to being that local resource that people need for pet supplies, grooming services, and more here in Bentonville and beyond!”
A big congratulations from our team here at EarthWise Pet Bentonville to the entire EarthWise Pet Franchise on receiving this amazing award! Here’s to another great year ahead of us.
