Peek at the Latest: Petco's Reddy SoHo Flagship Store
Premium pet retailer, Petco, unveils flagship store in SoHo showcasing its exclusive in-house brand line.
In the heart of New York City, Petco has unveiled their newest venture - the glamourous Reddy SoHo flagship store. This store is dedicated to showcasing their premium private label, Reddy, designed for urban pet aficionados.
Situated in the trendy SoHo neighborhood, Reddy SoHo offers an immersive experience that goes beyond typical pet retail. The store features personalized services such as custom pet tags, product monogramming, and even a pet-friendly concierge to organize fun activities with your furry friends. Plus, it boasts a fresh nutrition station from JustFoodForDogs and more exciting amenities on the horizon.
Petco's Reddy SoHo marks their initial location tailored to a single brand. As urban dwellers have embraced pet ownership during these uncertain times, Petco is capitalizing on this trend by offering an upscale shopping experience catering to the modern pet parent.
The newest addition to Petco's New York City lineup represents the retailer's ambition to offer a compelling, memorable shopping experience. Back in 2019, their flagship store in Union Square opened the first-ever JustFoodForDogs in-store pet kitchen.
With the Reddy store, Petco looks to hold onto its newfound customers and appeal to a younger demographic who frequent the SoHo shopping scene. Brands like Allbirds, Bonobos, Warby Parker, and Glossier have already made their marks in this trendy neighborhood.
According to Petco, the Reddy brand has gained significant traction since its launch. Nick Konat, their chief merchandising officer, expressed his excitement about the new store: "Reddy's growth and popularity among active and trend-forward pet parents has been steady since launch, and it's only accelerated over the past 18+ months. This first-of-its-kind boutique will continue fueling that exploration by giving New York City pet parents a hub to bond, recharge and find the latest must-have gear to style their best lives together."
Petco aims to keep the momentum going, having recently re-entered the public markets. In their most recent quarter, the retailer reported a 19% increase in net sales compared to last year, thanks to a 20% hike in comparable sales. To maintain this positive trend and cater to the growing demand in the pet category, Petco has been expanding its offerings, including introducing its PupBox subscription service last month.

- In addition to the Reddy SoHo store, Petco is also investing in cybersecurity to protect customer data, ensuring a safe and secure shopping experience online and in their stores.
- The Reddy SoHo flagship store is not just about pets; it's a fusion of lifestyle, home-and-garden, and fashion elements, catering to the modern pet parent's diverse interests.
- As pet ownership continues to flourish during the pandemic, the health benefits for both pets and their owners have become more evident, further boosting the pet market.
- Meanwhile,, many urban-focused TV shows have started featuring segments on pets and pet care, contributing to the growing popularity of pet-related content across various media platforms.
- In the same vein, space exploration and technology companies are also beginning to explore the potential of pets in space travel, raising questions about pet care in zero-gravity environments.
- Still, from a policy perspective, there's a growing call for stricter regulations regarding the treatment of animals and better access to affordable pet care services in underserved communities.
- Just like human trends, pet fashion trends are also evolving, with designer brands like Gucci and Chanel releasing their own pet collections, catering to the luxury tastes of the high-end pet market.
