Lowe's, the American retail company specializing in home improvement, recently announced a new partnership with Petco to introduce new shop-in-shops for customers. Petco's private labels and several national brands will be available in designated Lowe's store areas, alongside a curated selection of pet products from Lowe's. In addition, the pilot location will have Petco employees to assist consumers during peak hours.
"As part of our total home strategy, we're committed to providing customers the options they need for every part of their home. And for many of our customers — that means their pets, too," Bill Boltz, Lowe's executive vice president of merchandising, said via email. "With many searching for a convenient solution to getting all of their home and pet needs in one location, we couldn't think of a better time to create this shopping experience with Petco as our partner."
