Responsibility
For us, responsibility means putting the welfare of pets and people first, having high standards for quality, safety and expertise, as well as always looking into more sustainable ways to develop our business.
Our story in brief
The history of Musti Group stretches back to 1988, when the first Musti ja Mirri pet supply store was opened in Tampere, Finland by dedicated dog enthusiast and award-winning dog breeder Matti Varpula.
We are pet enthusiasts
Right from the start, the chain’s greatest strength was, and still is, its staff, who are thoroughly familiar with their four-legged clients: nearly all of our employees are genuine pet enthusiasts themselves, from the tips of their noses to the ends of their tails. This is easy to see not only in our professional service, but in our inspiring range of products and services as well.
Known for excellent service and diverse offering
In fact, our excellent service and diverse range of products are precisely the reasons why Musti ja Mirri has grown into the success story it is today. By 2010, the chain had already grown into a phenomenon that also piqued the interest of venture capitalists. It wasn’t long until the chain was sold, allowing the development of its strengths to continue in good paws.
Expanding territory
In 2012, it was time to start sniffing out new opportunities, and soon the decision was made to expand operations to Sweden. Our conquest of the west began with the acquisition of the Grizzly Zoo pet supply chain and continued just a few years later with the acquisition of the Arken Zoo and Djurmagazinet chains. In autumn 2016, our territory also expanded to Norway, with the opening of the first Musti stores.
Looking ahead
Although our history already stretches back nearly thirty years, Musti Group itself is still hardly more than a pup. The group was established in the autumn of 2016, when we decided to gather all our operations under a single group. The result was the birth of Musti Group, the largest trusted partner of all Nordic pet lovers. In 2020, Musti Group was listed of the Official List of Nasdaq Helsinki.
