, which first opened in 1981, is closing.
The pet supply store is located at the Lee-Harrison shopping center at 2501 N. Harrison Street. It has survived for five years following the , Unleashed by Petco, across the street.
In a , Dominion blamed its closing primarily on the internet. The store will be holding a going-out-of-business sale over the next few聽weeks, before it closes for good.
This is probably the hardest post I have ever written. We have spent the past 35 years serving our community. We absolutely love what we do. But recently, too many people have chosen the convenience of online ordering over coming in to our store.
So, Dominion Pet Center will be closing in the next few weeks.
Everything must go. Starting tomorrow, EVERYTHING is at least 25% off. All shelving, fixtures, freezers, etc are also for sale. No reasonable offer refused. If you are local, PLEASE SHARE THIS POST. We need to clear out the store and need your help.
The store鈥檚 owners, Steve and Kendra Green, said in a separate post that the business was their 鈥渉eart and soul.鈥�
鈥淚 hope our customers know how much we loved that store,鈥� the post said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 like losing a child. Words cannot begin to express how hard this is.鈥�
