The adventure began in 1984 when Pierre Charbonneau and Michel Joly opened their first pet shop on Taschereau Boulevard in Brossard. In 1991, Pierre Charbonneau opened his first store in Montreal, on Ontario Street. In 2007 Michel Joly opened another Chico store on Wellington Street in Verdun. The two stores were highly successful for several years, but the Chico banner really started to take off in 2008. Until then a part-time employee, Mr. José Forest formed a partnership with Pierre Charbonneau; he became a franchisee of the company, inaugurating the Chico store on Masson Street in Montreal. Together, the two men developed a business model based on the concept of a neighbourhood pet store, close to the community and adapted to its needs. The Chico banner developed on the franchise principle and several new shops have since been launched.
Chico pet shops form the largest chain of complete pet stores in Quebec. They offer pet owners a full range of food, accessories, toys and services to take care of your dog, cat, bird, fish, reptile or rodent. You can count on Chico to stock the most reputable brands at very competitive prices!
