Probably not anytime soon. Their owners (2 private equity groups) have pretty deep pockets and they spent 1.8 billion to aquire the company 3 years ago, so I dont see them going away anytime soon. They expect to open their 1,000th store in 2009. Petsmart's not doing too bad either, in the first quarter '09 profits up, sales are up and revenue is up, they closed the 1st qtr with a 46.3 million US profit on revenue of 1.33 billion US which was up 9%.

this isn't nessasarly a good thing, although they are not the best for fish, there dry goods for other animals and equipment pricing help keep LFS honest. with out the big box pet stores I would hate to see how much a tank would cost, or filters, media, ect..

I kinda wish Petsmart would come in and open a store, sometimes I like to shop there but hate going to Abby. Petcetera's building here is newer, and the dollar store could probably be moved to make it bigger if needed.
