Petco reported a 0.2% increase in net sales to $1.5 billion in Q1 2026, attributing growth to its successful omnichannel strategy, particularly the buy online, pick up in store (BOPIS) model. The retailer plans to enhance its loyalty program and optimize digital capabilities to further drive sales amid challenges from rising fuel prices and tariffs.
