A national pet supply retailer is opening a store on North Road and making its first entry into The T&D Region market.
Petco Animal Supplies Stores Inc. (Petco) is planning to locate a store across from Tractor Supply, according to a property deed on file at the Orangeburg County Register of Deeds.
Petco sells pet food, products and services, as well as certain types of live small animals.
Texas-based Embree Development Group Inc. is developing the property.
Petco did not immediately respond to media questions about the company’s plans.
It would be the first Petco in The T&D Region.
There are 22 other Petco stores in the state, according to the company’s website.
Founded in 1965 as a mail-order veterinary supply company in California, Petco grew into a pet food and supplies chain.
