A new pet store will celebrate its grand opening this weekend at the Lee-Harrison Shopping Center.
Kriser’s Natural Pet will open its seventh location in the area at 2501A N. Harrison Street. It replaces the former Dominion Pet Center, which closed last year after first opening in 1981.
The festivities, which include free pet nail trimming, raffles and giveaways, begin at 10 a.m. Saturday.
As of Friday morning, staff were putting the finishing touches on the store, which has pet toys, food, beds and health products among others. It also offers a grooming service for cats and dogs.
