PetSmart chalks up busy year
PetSmart is wrapping up a busy year for store expansion.
The pet supplies/services retailer opened 28 new stores in the United States and Canada in the quarter ending Nov. 1, 2017. This adds to the 35 new locations opened in the first half of the fiscal year, bringing the year-to-date total to 63.
“Continuing to expand our brick-and-mortar footprint is an important part of our strategy to be the most convenient, best-in-class pet retailer,” said Brian Amkraut, PetSmart’s executive VP of store operations, services, supply chain and real estate.
In addition to expanding its core concept in the past quarter, PetSmart also launched a new format, The Groomery, which is focused exclusively on pet grooming services. The concept debuted in New York City and Oak Park, Ill. On Thursday, it opened its third location, in Scottsdale, Arizona.
PetSmart operates more than 1,600 stores in the U.S., Canada and Puerto Rico and 207 in-store PetSmart PetsHotel dog and cat boarding facilities.
