On 30 August, Fressnapf Tiernahrungs GmbH will open its 600th European outlet, near Cuxhaven. The franchise currently has around 500 shops in Germany, as well as sites in Austria, Luxembourg, Hungary, Switzerland, Denmark, the Netherlands, and lately France too. Fressnapf took over the French animal chain City-Zoo at the end of July, thereby gaining access to one more European market.
