The two investment firms have also provided a large investment of capital to Animal Supply to support its growth and operations.
“We are so appreciative of our independent pet retailers, vendors and employees for partnering with us on this journey, especially during this process,” said Don McIntyre, CEO of Animal Supply Company. “Our team is excited to work with Goldman Sachs and Summit as we look to renew and transform our business. Together, we will take our Company to the next level in customer care, digital innovation and growth.”
