“Pets are such a great perk of a family’s life. When owners come in to buy good food or a toy for their pet, they’re in a great mood and it’s hard to not be happy,” said George Lennon, owner of Pet Supplies Plus of Plainfield. “To be a central part of the happiness that goes along with owning a pet is a neat way to make a living.”

Lennon brings a unique set of skills and experience to the new Pet Supplies Plus. A father of five kids and a pet lover, Lennon operates 10 other Chicagoland area Pet Supplies Plus stores and honors his lifelong commitment of being both a father and pet parent, offering pet nutrition advice and advisors as well.

His Plainfield store has employees that go through comprehensive training programs set up by Michigan State University veterinarians and location allows for free nutrition consultations, full service grooming salons, Senior Discount Days and daily specials.
