New pet supply store opening in Queen Creek

Owners of four-legged critters have a new place to shop in Queen Creek.

Pet Supplies Plus is opening a franchise at 9 a.m., Friday at 37752 N. Gantzel Road in the Vineyard Towne Center

The new store is owned by Queen Creek residents Michelle Kim and John Maderos, long-time business partners who have owned and operated several companies together throughout Arizona, according to a press release.

"Opening Pet Supplies Plus in Queen Creek is especially meaningful because it's an opportunity to serve the community John and I call home," Kim stated in the release. "We want every neighbor who walks through our doors to feel welcomed, supported and confident they're getting the best care and products for their pets."

Pet Supplies Plus offers pet essentials for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish and small animals, along with services including grooming, self-pet wash stations and carry-out assistance.

On Aug. 29 and 30, Pet Supplies Plus will hold grand-opening festivities at the new Pet Supplies Plus that will include free self-service pet washes, complimentary pup cups, free scratch cards worth up to $50 and the first 100 people at the store on Aug. 30, will get  a free small bag of dog or cat food.

As a community partner, Kim and Maderos plan to work alongside local animal shelters, rescue organizations and nonprofits to host year-round adoption events, fundraisers, pet food and product drives.
