BIZNOTE FOLLOWUP: West Seattle Pet Pros now closed

| Pets | West Seattle businesses | West Seattle news

When we talked with Pet Pros West Seattle staff one week ago, they confirmed the Jefferson Square store was closing but said they didn’t know when. The regional chain’s headquarters did not answer our subsequent inquiry, but this morning, tipster Mel told us she had found the sign in her photos on the door, and no one in the store. ‘

We just went over to verify and indeed the store is closed (it would normally have opened for the day at 10 am), and the shelves have been emptied. Pet Pros moved its West Seattle store there two years ago, after 15 years at Westwood Village, which ended when a franchise of Pet Supplies Plus moved to WWV.

Sad – at least the See’s Candies is still there for the next week. : )

Never understood why they moved there when there was a Petco across the street and Next-to-Nature to the west, but All the Best Pet Care just opened this year a couple blocks east so what do I know.

I suspect they are another victim to online stores selling pet supplies. Too bad.

Competing with other locals with better visibility, Amazon & a quirky location was a real challenge. Jefferson Square is going into 2025 with some tough challenges with the Bartells & Safeway situation. They’ve improved the parking lot with better spacing but the property needs a facelift investment.

Lol there will not be any facelift and no property owner in their right mind would spend money on one. This whole block is going to meet with the wrecking ball in the next couple years to make room for the light rail station.

Jefferson square businesses should have a phase out plan in general with regards to lightrail. I think all residents of the apartments should get ample heads up on their lease renewals, 3-4 years sounds good and should be alerted ASAP about it.

The manager of the Pet pros was so nice. I shopped there when it was at Westwood Village and always saw people in there shopping. I was sad when they left. There was not much foot traffic at the Jefferson Square location. It seemed I was the only customer in there when I would go. Great store with great products, super nice people who worked there, justunfortunate that they had to move to Jefferson Square. Best wishes to all the employees, I hope you move on and find a great new place to work.

For anyone looking for new spot, I’d suggest Pet Supplies Pro in WestWood, they have great stock, promotions, the staff is lovely and they offer curbside pickup AND delivery. It’s owned by a lovely West Seattle family that contributes a lot to our community. They were one of the biggest sponsors at the West Seattle Food Bank auction last year. It feels good to support them.
