At its core, Just Pets Megastore is driven by a profound mission:
to redefine the standards of pet care across Southeast Asia. With
a vision to establish itself as the largest chain of pet stores in
the region, Alex Lim and his team are on a journey to transform
the pet industry landscape. “Over the next five years, we plan
to expand our reach, bringing our unique blend of services and
expertise to every corner of Southeast Asia with the goal of
managing 1,000 outlets under our belts,” he said.
But beyond its commercial aspirations, Just Pets Megastore
is deeply rooted in a sense of community. Recognising the
challenges faced by traditional pet shops, particularly in the
face of online giants, the megastore aims to support and uplift
fellow entrepreneurs in the industry. Through mentorship,
strategic partnerships, and innovative business practices, they
seek to ensure the sustainability and success of pet businesses,
while also setting higher standards for animal welfare. Lim
elaborated sharing that with more information, knowledge and
better practices, together, all pet stores will be able to regulate
and revolutionise the industry as it will prohibit backyard
breeders and smugglers from trying to make a quick buck.
