Chains and independents

Of the 763 pet shops we hold, 111 (15%) carry a chain or brand name in our source. The most common are Absolute Pets (23), Crazy Pets South Africa (18), Petzone (13), Petworld (8) and Canine & Co Pet Store (5). The other 85% are independent businesses or entries without a brand tag. Brand tags come from the open dataset and are not always complete, so a branch of a chain can appear without one.
