The 870,000-square-foot site, which will supply 260 stores
in 11 states by next year, is planned for Bethel, Berks County, near the
heavily traveled interchange of I-78 and Route 501.
As part of an incentive package, PetSmart is expected to
create 500 jobs by 2016.
The cost of the site was more than $50 million.
PetSmart received a $2.3 million funding offer from the
Department of Community and Economic Development, including a $1 million “PA
First” grant, $245,250 in job training assistance and $1.1 million in
job-creation tax credits, Gov. Tom Corbett said when the plan was announced in
July 2012.
A grand opening ceremony is planned for March 28.
