When Whole Foods Market makes its anticipated arrival at 4801 Colleyville Blvd., Colleyville, a 13,500-square-foot Petco store will be on its flank, serving as the junior anchor to the supermarket, said Marty Wieder, Colleyville's economic development director.



Petco signed an agreement last week and the store will be ready to open along with Whole Foods this summer, Scott Woodruff of Centennial Real Estate said.



Wieder said the store will join several others that will ultimately make up the shopping center known as Colleyville Downs. Other stores include Westlake Ace Hardware, Matt's Rancho Martinez and Vineyard's Antique Mall.



"Recent announcements of new restaurants and merchants like Petco at Colleyville Downs represent solid progress in meeting the desires of our citizens and achieving the economic development goals set by our City Council," Wieder said. "Successes like these tend to build on themselves, to bring even more success."



Petco is a specialty retailer that offers products, services and advice for the care of a variety of pets, including dogs, cats and fish.



This is the second Petco location in the Grapevine, Colleyville and Southlake area. The other location is 1250 William D. Tate Ave. in Grapevine.
