- Delete It's hard to figure why such a large (according to them) chain has zero independent sourcing, but that seems to be the case. Nothing online except their own website and related items. Nothing in GNews except an occasional local announcement about the opening of an individual store. I could not even find out if they are privately held or publicly traded. There's just nothing significant out there about them that I could find. So, non-notable. --MelanieN (talk) 02:31, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.

- Keep. I added a couple refs (Business Week and Crains). Hoover's, in its US Pet Store Industry Overview, says "Major companies include PetSmart, PETCO Animal Supplies Stores, Pet Supplies "Plus," and Petland." [1]. Novickas (talk) 00:37, 17 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
