with Chico. That’s when the idea of opening a store came to me. Today, I am very excited to start this adventure in my hometown, Drummondville. » – Marilou Plante, franchisee of the Boutique d’animaux Chico on René-Lévesque Boulevard in Drummondville.

A bit of history
The first Chico store was founded over 35 years ago in the Hochelaga neighbourhood. Today, the

passion for animals have chosen to join the Chico family by becoming franchisees. Boutiques
d’animaux Chico is now the largest chain of neighbourhood pet stores in Quebec.
