Questions
How many pet stores are in Texas?
Texas has 2,093 pet stores on map listings as of September 2026. 930 of them (44%) are chain locations. The listings count pet stores. Official counts show 774 businesses with payroll classed as pet and pet supplies stores in 2023, up 8.3% from 2019.
How much do households in Texas spend on pets?
About $10.4B a year, or $950 per household. That is 4% above the U.S. average (an index of 104, where 100 is the U.S. average). Spread across the 2,093 pet stores on map listings, it comes to $5M per store. The spending figure covers all pets, not only pet stores. It is estimated from the incomes of the 10,992,816 households in Texas and national spending patterns by income.
How does Texas compare with the U.S. for pet stores?
Texas has 1.9 pet stores per 10,000 households, 5% below the U.S. rate of 2.0. Spending per store is $5M, 10% above the U.S. figure of $4.5M. At the national ratio of pet stores to household spending, Texas would have about 2,308, against 2,093 on map listings. There is one business with payroll in the industry for every 14,203 households, against one for every 13,024 across the U.S. The official count rose 8.3% from 2019 to 2023, against −1.6% for the U.S.
Which market in Texas has the highest market score for pet stores?
Among 25 scored metro areas in or partly in Texas, the Midland metro area scores highest, at 94 (very high). Among 7 scored small-town markets in or partly in Texas, the Athens area scores highest, at 87 (high). Among 63 scored counties in Texas, Midland County scores highest, at 92 (very high). Scores compare each market with others of its kind across the U.S.
What is the Groundwork market score?
The Groundwork market score runs from 0 to 100 and compares a market with others of its kind for one business type: states with states, metro areas with metro areas, small-town markets and counties with their own. It weighs household spending per competitor (35%), households per business with payroll (25%), population growth (20%) and spending power (20%), each ranked against those peers. A higher score means that, taken together, the market has more household spending and more households for each business already there, faster population growth and more spending per household than similar markets. It describes a market, not any one site or deal. Texas scores 74 for pet stores (upper middle), #7 of the 50 states and DC.
How can I see the market around a specific site?
Run a Groundwork site report on an address in Texas. It maps the pet stores on map listings near the site and sizes the households and spending within the distance you choose. New accounts get 10 actions over 3 days, no card.
