WILLIAMSBURG — A new pet supply store offering pet products, grooming and more has opened in the Lightfoot Marketplace shopping center.
Pet Supplies Plus opened a new location on Nov. 9 at 6493 Centerville Rd., the previous home of Pet Valu.
In addition to offering products for local pet parents “minus the hassle,” the new pet store offers amenities such as grooming, self-pet wash stations and carry-out service.
Local franchisees Scott and Roxanne Bobowicz were previous franchise owners in Pennsylvania before moving to Virginia.
Pet Supplies Plus refers to their customers as “neighbors.”
“We love when neighbors and their pets are in the store, we want to have fun with you,” Roxanne said. “We don’t just want to sell you pet food, we enjoy learning about your pet, and of course, offer them a treat when they visit.”
Pet Supplies Plus will offer Williamsburg residents a variety of natural pet foods, goods and pet services. Pet parents can shop with their pets at the store, where Scott said that team members will be hands-on.
“Our Minus the Hassle tagline refers to making shopping for your pet an enjoyable, easy experience. For example, we don’t want you lugging your food out to your car – that’s our job,” Scott said. “If you want to wash your dog, come on in. We’ll deal with the mess that’s tied to a bathing session.”
Pet Supplies Plus Williamsburg will be open Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. – 9 p.m. and Sunday 10 a.m. – 6 p.m.
