Big-box retailer with 1,400 locations launches huge closing-down sale with 30% off after shutting st
A MAJOR retailer is set to close a store and shoppers are able to grab a bargain with the prices of goods cut by up to 30 percent.
Petco chiefs are shutting down one of its outlets in Staten Island, New York.
Signs have been put up in the windows informing customers that the sale is underway, as reported by The Staten Island Advance.
Shoppers can score huge savings as the prices of items have been wiped by 10 to 30 percent as chiefs rush to clear the last remaining stock.
A Petco spokesperson told The U.S. Sun that the store will close on November 12.
They said: "At Petco, we’re constantly evaluating our real estate portfolio to ensure locations are conveniently located to best serve our customers.

"We value the relationships we’ve built with pet parents in the Staten Island community and look forward to continuing to serve them at our nearby location at 165 Bricktown Way, Suite 1C, in Staten Island, NY 10309, as well as online at petco.com."
The Pergament Mall used to be home to a Bed Bath & Beyond store but this closed after the big box chain filed for bankruptcy and closed its physical outlets.
Bed Bath & Beyond has since relaunched as an online business only.
The shopping complex also has a Best Buy outlet, a Michael’s store, and a Party City outlet.

The upcoming Petco store closure in Staten Island comes just months after chiefs at the big box chain shuttered an outlet in Colonie, New York – located five miles from Albany.
The store closed down after a decade of business.
Customers were able to grab a bargain ahead of the outlet’s final days with the prices wiped by at least 10 percent.
Ron Coughlin, the CEO of Petco, told how he was advised to close stores as the so-called retail apocalypse grips the sector, per CoStar.
He told the National Retail Federation conference: “I was running the PC division at HP.
"Then I had come into Petco, and I can’t tell you how many smart people came in and told me I needed to get rid of my stores.
“Those smart people couldn’t have been more wrong.”
Petco has a portfolio of more than 1,400 stores and over 200 outlets can be found in California.

Meanwhile, The U.S. Sun has reported on how Petco is making thousands of its products more accessible to shoppers.
Chiefs have signed a deal with DoorDash and this will mean that thousands of goods will be available for same-day delivery.
