Some pet owners will soon have one fewer place to shop and get their dogs groomed.
Tractor Supply Co. said in its latest earnings report on July 23 it plans to close "approximately 75" of its Petsense stores. A company spokesperson confirmed to USA TODAY on July 28 the exact number of closures is 74.
"This was a very difficult decision made after a deep look at our business. Our immediate focus is taking care of the team members who are affected by these closures," a Petsense by Tractor Supply spokesperson said in an emailed statement to USA TODAY on July 28.
"We are working hard to transfer them to roles at other Petsense or Tractor Supply stores wherever possible," the spokesperson said, adding that the affected stores will remain open during
a "wind-down process" over the next 10 to 12 weeks.
Here's what to know, including a list of locations closing.
Why are Petsense stores closing?
"Following a disciplined review of Petsense, we've decided to close approximately 75 underperforming stores. We believe these actions will improve returns, simplify the business, and allow us to direct resources towards higher growth, higher return opportunities," said CEO Hal Lawton on the earnings call.
What is Petsense? 135 locations remain
Petsense was founded in 2005 and acquired by Tractor Supply in September 2016, according to a news release by the company. At the time of the acquisition, Petsense had 136 stores across 23 states. Tractor Supply re-branded the pet-exclusive chain to Petsense by Tractor Supply in August 2022.
As of June 29, there were 209 Petsense by Tractor Supply stores across 23 states, according to the earnings report. After the 74 store closures, there will be 135 locations remaining.
The company told USA TODAY its customers will still have access to Tractor Supply stores, Petsense.com, Tractorsupply.com, Allivet pharmacy and VIP Petcare services where available.
