Loyal Companion pet store to open in downtown Bethesda

The Bradley Shopping Center has finally found a tenant for the vacant old pharmacy space at 6900 Arlington Road in Bethesda. Loyal Companion is a national chain pet store that promises to provide all essential pet needs under one store roof, from pet food to grooming and vet services. The company says it has brought together several top brand names, including Kriser's, Especially For Pets, Bark! Dogma – Life, With Your Pet, Pet Source, Pet Life and Whole Pet Central.

Loyal Companion is making a nationwide grand opening event push this coming week. This Bethesda location, however, is so new it is not yet even listed on the website to participate. Stay tuned for an opening date. They're very smart to lease here, because the shopping center is always packed, and people go up and down the row of storefronts for one-stop shopping. I'm surprised this spot stayed vacant for so long, given that reason.

    Are these the people who have left those derelict "Pet Lovers Companion" newsboxes all over Bethesda, which are filling up with trash, booze bottles and homeless people's possessions?

    "The vacant old pharmacy space at 6900 Arlington Road", actually had a name - Bradley (Care) Drugs, the name under which it operated from when that shopping center opened in 1954, until its closure in October 2017.

    @12:35 - I doubt it, those handouts have been around forever, and this seems to be a new brand.

    Bradley Shopping center made a huge mistake letting Bruce Variety go. The center has never been the same. Another store is leaving before the end of the year. It is a poorly run center that needs to be redeveloped. They party store is nothing but a poorly run party store not a variety store.

    As I mentioned in the very first comment on this thread, Those aren't "brands" they are local pet stores bought up by Loyal Companion.

    Your guess is as good as mine why it gets deleted.

    And to answer the silly 12:35 comment, which somehow IS allowed to stay...
    I'll quote Hamlet-Act III, Scene III, Line 92...
    "NO"
