Petco announced this week that its Sugar Land retail outlet has moved from its longtime spot on Highway 6 to a new address on Town Center Boulevard. The relocation, approved by city officials, brings a larger floor plan and several customer‑focused upgrades.
What’s new at the Town Center location?
The upgraded store features a dedicated treat bar where shoppers can sample pet snacks, a selection of exclusive Petco merchandise, and interactive stations that let visitors get up close with a variety of animals. City leaders said the new layout is designed to create a more engaging experience for families and their pets.
Upcoming Halloween celebrations
To mark the move, Petco is hosting a series of Halloween‑themed events. On October 17, the store will hold a Halloween Pet Costume Contest at 2 p.m., offering free treats and prizes for the best‑dressed animals. A week later, on October 24, the store will feature a “Meet the Critters” session and a photo‑op area where owners can capture festive pictures with small companion animals.
Pet adoption opportunity
Petco will also partner with local shelters for a pet adoption event on November 1. The event aims to connect families with rescue animals, reinforcing the store’s role as a community hub for pet lovers.
Community impact
City officials highlighted that the new location is expected to generate additional foot traffic for nearby businesses on Town Center Boulevard, supporting the local economy. The move aligns with Sugar Land’s broader efforts to attract family‑friendly retailers and enhance the downtown corridor.
Pet owners in Sugar Land are encouraged to visit the new store, explore the treat bar, and participate in the upcoming events. For more details on store hours and event schedules, visit the Petco website or follow the store’s social‑media channels.
