BIZNOTE: Pet Pros moving this week

| West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news | Westwood

Thanks to Richard for the tip. He noticed the big WE’RE MOVING sign on the door of Pet Pros at Westwood Village, which says the pet-supply shop is moving to West Seattle’s other major shopping center, Jefferson Square. We followed up this morning and the staff tells us that tomorrow (Tuesday, September 27th) is their last day at WWV. Their new location is the lone remaining vacant spot at J-Square, next to what’s now Z Optic, and they expect to open there on Thursday (September 29th). Pet Pros has been in WWV since 2007; the center has another pet store opening this fall, a local franchise of the national chain Pet Supplies Plus, opening next to Ulta Beauty, as first reported here last year.

Any news on Five Guys?

They’ve filed for building permits.

Seems like a strange place to move to when Petco is across the street and Next to Nature is 2 blocks away.

My thought too….

Take note of the animal hospital in the adjacent building, behind Bartell’s. Enough pet owners cycle through the junction to support these fine folks, I’m sure.

  Plus, it’ll be convenient to go there when already parked for Safeway, instead of having to drive to a different location. I know there’s a QFC by Petco, but they’re expensive, the staff is rude, and those elevators…,,,

There is Addy’s Pet Store on Henderson for South Delridge folks. The owner is really nice.

I go to Pet Pros weekly, and it’s really sad that the people who own/lease WWV are willing to say goodbye to a locally-owned, 15 year resident business full of the best people. They are my go-to, 3 minutes up the street. Living on Delridge, I rarely go up to JSquare. I know we’ve lost many good businesses, but when I hear “the lease was up”……well the writing is on the wall. For Pet Pros, I’ll make the trip up the hill!

And the conversion of WWV into a decaying ghost town of abandoned storefronts continues…

Westwood doesn’t have that many vacancies – ex-24 Hour Fitness, ex-Fresh Vitamins, and now this. It might look more vacant currently because several of the newly leased storefronts are still in buildout – Spirit Halloween, Pet Supplies Plus, GNC, Five Guys. – TR
