The grand opening ceremonies for the newest store will take place this Saturday with special events for pets and their humans.

The Mayagüez store joins locations at Señorial Plaza mall (Río Piedras), Plaza Río Hondo (Bayamón), San Patricio Plaza (Guaynabo), Plaza Centro (Caguas), Plaza Escorial (Carolina), Plaza del Norte (Hatillo), Ponce Town Center (Ponce) Plaza Fajardo (Fajardo), and Rexville Town Center (Bayamón).

The new store will be working with the Villa Michelle animal shelter in Mayagüez to promote pet adoptions.
