“We’re delighted to welcome pets and pet parents to this revolutionary flagship experience that embodies Petco’s fully integrated, omnichannel pet health and wellness ecosystem within a single pet care center,” said Petco COO Justin Tichy. “Its distinctly New York design coupled with Petco’s highly differentiated pet care offering brings to life the humanization and premiumization trends shaping the pet space in a way no one else can replicate.”
In a news release, the company says the flagship “brings the look and feel of the park and an open-air farmer’s market inside the landmark Tammany Hall building. Featuring exposed brick, herringbone wood floors, and fixtures made with reclaimed materials, Petco Union Square is a hub for pets and pet parents to gather and connect with the community.”

The new flagship, at 44 Union Square on the corner of 17th and Park, replaces Petco’s previous Union Square pet care center, which has been open at 860 Broadway since 1996.
