Just in time for Christmas, three very noticable new businesses are opening in the Maple Leaf/Northgate neighborhoods.
On Wednesday, Thornton Place tweeted that its newest business had just opened its doors, a laser hair removal center called Ideal Image, located between Tengu Sushi and Jewel Box Cafe at 317 N.E. Thornton Place, Suite 10A and 10B.
Just north of there in the same complex as Target, Petco is planning to open a new location at 9 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 22.
And lastly, the space at 11030 Eighth Ave. N.E. that was vacated when 24-Hour Fitness moved into 507 Northgate is expected to open in December as a new Hot Yoga Inc.
PetCo has things Target does not; cat owners can buy a plastic jug of cat litter for $9.99 and bring it back for a refill (at a cost of $6.32). The selection of cat and dog food far exceeds that of Target.
Dog groomers are on premises at PetCo, too. Dog trainers are going to be giving classes soon.
That particular space has been underutilized – a Spirit Halloween store, one year – since the Shoe Emporium closed, about three years ago.
As for having “something” just “come along,” forgive me for saying it Anonymous, but you obviously haven’t look for work – part-time, full-time or even contract professional work – recently; enough said. But hey, thanks for the thought.
Terry, they don’t appear to have much staff. Only 3 registers and not many shoppers or selection when it comes to supplies. I suspect that location will struggle as Target sells many of the same products. 🙁
Keep looking and keep your chin up. Something will come along.
Having visited there on Friday, November 25, I can attest to the fact that this store will help those of us who share space with companion animals. Of particular benefit to people who live with cats, is the ability to pay about $10 for a refillable plastic jug, for cat litter; refills are about $6.50 (exact amount was some odd price such as $6.32, not written down by yours truly).
It doesn’t seem, however, that living in the neighborhood is any asset to be hired to work there. I submitted an application, via the PetCo server, about six weeks ago.
At the end of my recent visit, I asked the guy behind the counter for an actual (print, paper) application; which I’d hope to come back and give to the manager. I was told that the manager had received so many, he was still working his way through them.
If said manager reads this please note something I wasn’t able to enter “on line” and that is: (1) retail experience, over three years at O’Reilly Auto Parts, (2) volunteer work at Purrfect Pals Cat Shelter in Arlington and Pasado’s Safe Haven in Monroe and (3) lived with two cats, one for 14 years (until he passed away at 20) and another for 10 years (still with me at age 12).
For what it’s worth, there it is.
