This question is about Chewy.
PetSmart owns Chewy after acquiring them in 2017 for $3.35 billion. At the time, this was the largest acquisition of an e-commerce business ever.
Chewy was founded under the name Mr. Chewy in June 2011 by Ryan Cohen and Michael Day. The company hired former employees and executives from Amazon, PetSmart, Whole Foods Market, and Wayfair to gain knowledge on advancing the company.
By 2017, the company had generated approximately $2 billion in revenue and made up around 51% of online pet food sales in the United States. Cohen was prepared to take the company public when he was approached by both Petco and PetSmart with merger offers. Petco's offer would be paid for using stock; PetSmart offered an all-cash bid.
Chewy is headquartered in Dania Beach, Florida. They opened a facility in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, to allow for overnight delivery in the Northeast in 2014. In 2017, Chewy opened an office in Boston, Massachusetts, which functions as its second headquarters. In 2018, they opened a customer service center in Hollywood, Florida.
Chewy now has 12 fulfillment centers and three customer service centers. Between 2017 and 2018, Chewy's sales increased from $2.1 billion to $3.5 billion, with 66% of sales coming from customers who signed up for automatic recurring shipments.
In 2021, Chewy announced its expansion into medical insurance for pets, with CarePlus set to launch in 2022. In 2021, Chewy had annual revenue of $8.89 billion with over 21,000 employees working for the company.
