Edina Chuck & Don's Store Hosting Grand Opening Celebration

A little bit more than one month into business, Edina's Chuck & Don's pet food store will be hosting a grand opening celebration on Saturday, April 20.

The celebration will include plenty of family and pet-friendly activities, running from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the 6821 York Ave. S. location. 

President and CEO Robert Hartzell said the grand opening celebration will serve as both a welcome to the new Edina store and a time to enjoy the continued growth of the Minnesota company. 

“We are looking forward to meeting our new neighbors and their pets, and invite the community to take part in our many in-store activities," Hartzell said.

In addition to seeing the store—and all of the pet supplies it has to offer—attendees will be able to take part in a number of in-store happenings, including:

• Meet Staci Matthews from the KS95 afternoon show, Moon & Staci - 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
• Free pet communicator sessions with Teri Ann Lapsey- 1:30-4 p.m.
• Free pet nail trims with donations benefiting Twin Cities Pet Rescue - 12-3 p.m.
• Microchipping for $20 with donations benefiting Twin Cities Pet Rescue - 12-3 p.m.
• Free 4” x 6” pet portraits by Patrick Nau Photography - 10 a.m.-4 p.m.
• Treats for both people and pets, and a variety of kids’ activities - 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

The Edina location is the 19th in Minnesota for Chuck & Don's, which opened its first store in Eagan back in 1990.

Chuck & Don's Pet Food Outlet was founded by Charles "Chuck" Anderson and Don Tauer, who met through owning, training and showing dogs. There are presently 19 locations in the Twin Cities and five in Colorado.

The chain or stores offers brand name, speciality and hard-to-find pet foods and supplies for dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles and aquatic creatures.
