Hollywood Feed adds Georgia store, signals more Southeast growth

Version 1

Hollywood Feed said it will open a new 4,500-square-foot store in Canton, Georgia, on June 6, expanding its Atlanta-area footprint and marking its 24th location in the state. The store will include two self-wash dog stations, retail space, curbside pickup, and same-day delivery. The Memphis-based specialty pet retailer also said it plans additional Southeast openings in Alabaster, Alabama, later in 2026, and in Garner, North Carolina, and Knoxville, Tennessee, in the first half of 2027. Hollywood Feed currently operates more than 175 stores across 19 states. (petfoodprocessing.net)

Why it matters: For veterinary professionals, the expansion is another sign that premium, service-heavy pet retail continues to deepen its reach in Southeastern growth markets. Hollywood Feed’s model emphasizes natural and holistic products, convenience services, and staff training through its in-house education platform, which can influence where pet parents seek nutrition guidance, over-the-counter products, and day-to-day care recommendations outside the clinic. The company’s recent $112 million senior secured credit facility also suggests it has capital to keep building store density in the region. (sfnet.com)

What to watch: Watch whether Hollywood Feed’s Southeast rollout accelerates beyond the three announced stores, especially after securing fresh financing earlier this year. (sfnet.com)
