Petsmarts Closing?

[krazyaboutkatz]

Hi, I went to a Petsmart that's very close to my work tonight and I was very surprised to see a sign saying that they would be closing this store as of May 3rd. I think that the last time that I was in this store was in March and I don't remember seeing a closing sign. Most of their stock is gone. This store is also a fairly new one and it was so convenient for me to shop in on my way home from work. Luckily there's still another one that is close to where I live.

Are other Petsmart's closing in other states too? Just curious.

Ours actually closed about a month ago.

PetsMart closing how very sad. It's a huge chain and thousands will lose their jobs. I don't have a PetsMart in my town, there is a store two towns over. Our city just built a new Petco which I find a bit pricey. My favorite is Pet Supplies Plus as they carry the Oxbow hay for the buns and their prices are great along with their staff.
One young girl who worked there became good friends with us, she is in college now studing biology.
Hopefully the entire chain will not close such as the Alvins and Lines & Things.

I have two near me.....one is very busy, the other not so much. They closed one near me and built one of the two near me now....It seems like Petco opens up very near the Petsmarts.....We were there just last night, walking Boomer and Sooner around.

According to this, they are closing 33 stores, opening 75 new "superstores." Took ages to find anything online about the closings!

Says the stores that are closing do have other superstores nearby.

It looks like this was an article that is 12 years old. Probably does not apply to the current closings.

We have one near BB&B and I'm not sure if it's gonna close or not. I think alot of the smaller stores are closing. At least that's the way it is in CT. Chalk it up to the economy.

What bothers me is all these empty buildings that could certainly house the homeless, or act as a temporary shelter. Breaks my heart to see these perfectly historic buildings get imploded for a parking lot.

Sorry, got off track for a minute there.
