With 1,500 North American locations and the largest chunk of market share among pet retailers, PetSmart<\/strong> is trialing the viability of a smaller space while testing demand potential for a number of services within its first PetSmart Pet Spa<\/strong> concept located in Oceanside, NY (529 Atlantic Ave.).<\/p>\n

Current plans for the PetSmart Pet Spa stores call for footprints averaging 5,000-8,000 sq. ft., compared to the industry-leading 26,000 sq. ft. that the company currently seeks for its standard big box locations. That footprint is approximately half that of fellow 1,500-unit retailer Petco <\/strong>(averaging 12,500 sq. ft.) and more in line with the preferred square footage of \u2018next tier\u2019 competitors such as Pet Supplies \u2018Plus\u2019 <\/strong>(8,500 sq. ft.), Pet Valu<\/strong> (2,000-4,000 sq. ft.) and Pet Supermarket <\/strong>(6,000 sq. ft.). (For more on the retail pet market, you can check out this link<\/a> \u2013 and this one<\/a> \u2013 for recent Chain Store Guide <\/strong>posts on the subject.)<\/p>\n

Within this relatively smaller space, the PetSmart Pet Spa includes a self-service dog wash, a new grooming salon design, a coffee bar-lounge area and retail space focusing on upscale pet food and nutrition needs.<\/p>\n

PetSmart has yet to announce plans for future locations.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a current top level look at PetSmart pulled from Chain Store Guide\u2019s <\/strong>Leading Chain Tenant Database<\/strong><\/a>. The database contains records for the companies noted above as well as 9,400 other foodservice and retail organizations with 5 or more stores. Records include the information seen below as well as contact information for key personnel and additional real estate information.<\/p>\n
