Over 300 Pet Valu stores, Shelbyville, to close

Pet Valu will close all of its 358 U.S. stores, including its Shelbyville location.


The company announced last week that it is stopping operations due to the severe impact from the Covid-19 pandemic.


The business sells pet products and supplies and featured in-store services such as dog washes and grooming.


In addition to the Shelbyville location, the business featured four stores in Indianapolis, two in Carmel and stores in Anderson, Brownsburg, Greenwood, Kokomo, and Zionsville.


There is no specific date listed for the closing, but the business is advertising a 20 percent off sale on its website.


In a release, Jamie Gould, the company’s Chief Restructuring Officer, said, “The Pet Valu U.S. team is proud to have met the needs of our devoted pet lover customers in the U.S. for more than 25 years. However, the company’s stores have been significantly impacted by the protracted Covid-19-related restrictions. After a thorough review of all available alternatives, we made the difficult but necessary decision to commence this orderly wind down.”


It is believed all store closing sales will commence in the coming days, and the company states it will continue to take precautions to keep its stores safe for customers and employees.
