PetSmart is announcing the opening of its first store in Penticton, located at 102 Warren Ave. E. 

To celebrate, the store will have a grand opening event Saturday, Aug. 27, starting with a ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Pet parents and their four-legged friends are encouraged to join in, and the first 50 shoppers will receive a mystery gift card, with a potential value from $5 up to $50.

All shoppers wil receive free giveaways such as t-shirts, pet toys and coupons.
 
The store’s adoption partner, the Summerland Cat Sanctuary Society, will be on site with cats available for adoption.

PetSmart is dedicated to saving the lives of homeless pets through every day in-store adoptions and through its signature National Adoption Weekend events where nearly 20,000 pets find forever homes across Canada every year. 

PetSmart Charities of Canada is a leading funder of animal welfare and, since 1999, has granted more than $9 million to more than 100 animal welfare organizations across the country, with a focus on funding adoption and spay/neuter programs.

The new Penticton store features more than 15,000 square feet of space, providing pet parents with a broad range of competitively priced pet food and a comprehensive line of pet products.

It also offers services such as pet training and a full-service grooming salon where dogs and cats receive hands-on care from stylists dedicated to making pets look and feel their best.

The Aug. 27 ceremony is at 9 a.m.
