Hollywood Feed adds North Atlanta store, eyes Southeast growth

Version 1

Hollywood Feed is adding another store in metro Atlanta, with a new North Atlanta-area location slated to open as part of a broader Southeast growth push, according to Pet Age. The Memphis-based specialty pet retailer has been steadily expanding its footprint and now says it serves pet parents in 19 states, backed by 175 stores and e-commerce nationwide. Earlier this year, the company also secured a $112 million senior secured credit facility from Fortress Investment Group to support continued growth. (fortress.com)

Why it matters: For veterinary professionals, Hollywood Feed’s expansion is another sign that premium, natural, and holistic pet retail remains a growth category in the Southeast. The chain positions itself around nutrition guidance, trained store staff, same-day delivery, price matching, and services such as self-serve dog wash at some locations, all of which can influence where pet parents get diet recommendations, OTC products, and routine wellness support outside the clinic. That makes retail-veterinary alignment on nutrition, dermatology, parasite prevention, and referral boundaries more important in fast-growing markets. (locations.hollywoodfeed.com)

What to watch: Watch for exact store timing, additional Southeast site announcements, and whether Hollywood Feed’s new financing translates into a faster cadence of openings in Georgia and neighboring states. (fortress.com)
