Local Restaurant Veterans Host Grand Opening for Their Second Pet Supplies Plus Location in Rowlett

ROWLETT, Texas (May 7, 2026) – Pet Supplies Plus, the largest and most trusted pet retail franchise, is now open in Rowlett. Located at 8809 Lakeview Pkwy., the store offers a wide selection of pet essentials for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and small animals, along with services including grooming, self-pet wash stations, and carry-out assistance.

Meet the Local Franchise Owners:

The Rowlett store is owned by local entrepreneurs[MB1] [AS2] and longtime business partners, Todd McEvoy and Alan Mann. After more than 30 years in the restaurant industry, including owning and operating multiple concepts, Mann recently sold his portfolio and partnered with McEvoy to pursue a more community-focused venture. The two first met while working in restaurants and built their careers around hospitality and customer service. They were drawn to Pet Supplies Plus for its neighborhood feel and hands-on, customer-first approach. Having opened their first location in Euless this past March, the Rowlett store marks the long-time business partners’ second location in the greater DFW-area with plans to open additional locations in the future.

“We’ve built our careers around taking care of people, and this is really an extension of that, but for pets,” said Mann. “Pet Supplies Plus gives us the opportunity to be part of the community on a more personal level, and Rowlett felt like the right place to continue growing.”

Pet Supplies Plus focuses on providing a unique in-store experience for all of its new “neighbors” (the term Pet Supplies Plus uses for customer). As community partners, McEvoy and Mann, will work alongside local animal shelters, rescue organizations and non-profits to host year-round adoption events, fundraisers, pet food and product drives.

Grand Opening Celebration:

To welcome the community to the new Pet Supplies Plus location, McEvoy and Mann will host a weekend-long grand opening event featuring a $10 reward for any $30 purchase, special prize giveaways, discounts, and more.
