PetSmart is planning to reopen two stores in the Chicago area after closing several locations earlier this year. Both of the new stores are close to the previous locations they are replacing.

The new locations include a 20,000-square-foot store at 2534 N. Narragansett Avenue and a 17,000-square-foot store at 20393 N. Rand Road in Kildeer, reported the Chicago Business Journal. Both locations have grand opening events scheduled. Previously, the company operated a 26,000-square-foot store at 6655 W. Grand Ave. and a 20,000-square-foot store at 20771 N. Rand Road in Kildeer.

PetSmart spokeswoman Amber Schlaefer told the outlet, “The new locations feature an updated format that will offer a better customer experience including a cleaner look and feel with more efficient use of the footprint, updated salon and adoption areas.” PetSmart has more than 1,660 locations in North America and the stores sell a variety of pet food, treats, toys, and apparel, and provide training, grooming, and boarding.
