Petco Grand Opening Weekend With Prizes, Critter Presentations and More
Ribbon-cutting is Saturday morning, but the weekend schedule is full of activities.
Petco will hold its ribbon-cutting and grand opening this weekend with prizes for faithful Petco shoppers and meet-the-critter shows and other contests for all customers.
The store is already open at Davis Ford Crossing, 9890 Liberia Avenue. But the big grand opening is Saturday. The ribbon-cutting is scheduled for 8:55 a.m. Pals cardholders will receive a free $10 gift card.
Through the day, pets will be available for adoption. Also, there will be a "Guess the Kibble" contest. At 1 p.m. pets get a chance to wow the crowd with a best trick contest.
Staff will be demonstrating best-practices with some exotic pets both Friday and Saturday (see schedule below).
On Sunday, the first 50 Petco Pals cardholders will receive a free tote bag.
