KAPOLEI, HI (February 28, 2019) — Ka Makana Ali‘i is excited to welcome PetSmart to The Grove, the next phase of the Center focused on creating a gathering place to promote healthy living in the Kapolei community. The pet store will include a fresh, natural food shop, a full- service salon for cats and dogs, a ring for dog training courses, adoption weekends and more. It opened on Monday, Feb. 25 with a grand opening celebration planned for Saturday, March 9.

PetSmart is located next to 24 Hour Fitness, and will be the third PetSmart to open in the Islands. The 17,500-square-foot store will hold a Hawaiian blessing, ribbon cutting and hula halau performance at the grand opening celebration on Saturday, March 9 starting at 9 a.m. There will also be a radio remote, pet salon open house, photo op with the PetSmart mascot Chance the Dog, pet wellness exams and The Big Fix spay and neuter clinic. The first 40 people in line will receive a PetSmart gift card and the first 100 shoppers to make a purchase and enroll in a PetSmart Treats Rewards membership or download the PetSmart app will receive a $5 coupon.

The fresh, natural food shop at PetSmart will be home to organic frozen and refrigerated pet foods from various brands, 85 percent of which aren’t found at other pet stores. The full-service salon offers bathing, grooming and nail cutting for dogs and cats.

“Once all this opens, it’s a one-stop shop for your family’s health,” said Donaldo Hopper, PetSmart store leader. “With the area and real estate booming, PetSmart wants to be a part of this second city. We’re looking forward to working with the Center on community events and partnerships in the future.”

PetSmart is also looking to host a “Meet the Pets” event, keiki day and more activities to invite the community to the store on Saturdays.

The store is also home to cats available for adoption all year round and is looking to host national adoption weekends four times a year to offer opportunities for the community to adopt dogs and cats. PetSmart believes in the power of adoption and does not sell any dogs or cats. Together with PetSmart Charities®, the company helps save more than 1,300 pets a day through adoption.

PetSmart is the first store to open at The Grove. The 109,000-square-foot space will be home to a variety of healthy lifestyle retailers, restaurants and services, including Foodland Farms, Hawai’i Pacific Health and more. The name, The Grove, pays homage to the agricultural roots of Kapolei and the Ewa plains, which were once a flourishing sugar plantation.
