Founded in 1965 as a mail-order veterinary supply company in California, it grew into a pet food and supplies chain. Acquired by The Spectrum Group, Inc. and the Thomas H. Lee Company in 1988, it first went public on the NASDAQ in 1994 (ticker "PETC"). It was subsequently bought by Leonard Green & Partners and Texas Pacific Group in 2000 and went privately owned. In 2002, the company went public for the second time, again on the NASDAQ under ticker "PETC". In 2016, Petco was sold to CVC Capital Partners and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board, who retained control when Petco held its third IPO in January 2021.
