Southeast Pet is the only employee-owned distributor in the Southeast.  “Southeast Aquatics” was started by Greg and Holly Judge in 1975, and we have come a long way from being a tropical fish distributor. Two years later, Greg and Holly Judge saw an opportunity to expand beyond fish and invested in a small pet supply company becoming Southeast Pet. In 2015, the Judge’s sold the company to the employees as an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan)

This does not mean simply filling orders, but fueling retailer growth by understanding the difference between trends and fads and by offering an innovative mix of premium products and unsurpassed customer service.
