Ren’s Pets Welcomes the Community to a Newly Updated St. Catharines Store

Join the Grand Re-opening Celebration December 12-18, furry friends happily welcome!

St. Catharines, ON – December 11, 2025 – Ren’s Pets, proudly Canadian and celebrating 50 years of serving pets and their families, is delighted to invite the community to the grand re-opening of its refreshed St. Catharines store on Friday, December 12. Located at 121 Fourth Avenue, the updated store offers a brighter, more modern shopping experience built around Ren’s pet-first approach to retail. 

A fixture in the community since 2020, this location was Ren’s 27th store and has been a staple for local pet parents. The renovation brings updates to a well-loved neighbourhood favourite, ensuring it continues to meet the expectations of today’s customers. 

“St. Catharines has always felt like home for Ren’s,” said Jaysen Steeves, VP of Operations at Ren’s Pets. “Refreshing this store gave us the opportunity to honour that while bringing in the modern touches and thoughtful improvements our customers deserve. It’s a space that feels familiar but elevated in all the right ways.” 

A Warm and Friendly Shopping Experience 

The updated store offers a layout designed to make browsing simple and enjoyable. Shoppers will notice brighter storefront windows, clearer signage throughout the aisles and a checkout area that’s been reorganized for a more comfortable flow. Front-of-store displays highlight popular products and seasonal favourites, while the refreshed colour palette and modern design elements give the store an inviting, pet-centric feel. 

Inside, customers will find: 

• High quality exclusive brands such as Vetdiet, Petstory, Snack Squad, Romeo, BeOneBreed, and O’Select
• A broad assortment of premium dog and cat food from trusted national brands
• And expanded selection of raw frozen food options
• Treats, toys, and accessories
• A free-to-use pet scale

Pets, as always, are welcome to come along to visit store staff and receive a free treat. Customers are encouraged to earn free food and redeem points with the Ren’s Rewards program, online or in store.
