Central Garden has signed a binding agreement to acquire all business assets of General Pet Supply, a leading Midwestern U.S. supplier of pet food and supplies. Central previously had a partnership alliance with General Pet Supply serving different regions of the country. The acquisition is expected to close in early April 2018.
“The addition of General Pet Supply gives our company unparalleled distribution capabilities in the Pet industry,” said George Roeth, CEO & President of Central Garden & Pet. “The acquisition is important to us strategically as it fills out our national footprint, expands our food distribution business, and provides us access to the veterinary channel.” Roeth continued, “We are very excited to welcome General Pet’s management team and employees to the Central family. Our common approach to business, shared values, and entrepreneurial spirit will ensure that we continue to enhance the service and selection of pet foods and supplies that we provide to all our customers.”
