With the calendar about to turn to February, construction on Brandonâs upcoming PetSmart location is entering the home stretch in preparation for opening in the weeks ahead.
According to a PetSmart representative on Friday, construction within the more than 13,000 square foot future Brandon store at 1350 18th Street is now about 90% complete with fixturing work presently underway.
As everything comes together, a planned soft opening date of Monday, March 9th has been set. A Grand Opening has been scheduled for Saturday, March 14th. That grand opening on the 14th is to feature a promotion offering the first 50 customers a $25 gift card as well as an opportunity in-store to enter to win a $250 gift card. Various one-day-only offers and giveaways are also planned.
Signage has been in the process of being installed in recent days highlighting the storeâs Grooming and Self Dog Wash offerings. A running job advertisement for a Pet Trainer/Dog Trainer would seem to speak to that service being in the plans as well. In addition to services, the store is expected to carry a variety of national and proprietary branded products comparable to the chainâs Winnipeg locations.
The Brandon store will be the chainâs fifth in Manitoba, joining four in Winnipeg and more than 125 in Canada.
eBrandon first reported in June of PetSmartâs intent to open a local store with construction efforts beginning during the summer months.
