| - This is a big store. Then again, it seems like every store these days - at least in Charlotte - is a big box, so maybe that's not a surprise. I recently was in the Petco by Concord Mills, and the two are very different. While Petsmart is more of a warehouse feel, Petco leaves you feeling like you're in more of a local store. Whether the Petco is actually any smaller or not I don't know, but it actually feels that way.
Petsmart makes you feel like you're in a massive store, with similarly large aisles, and some of them have product that looks like it's been there for some time, dust and all. I often compare the two to Home Depot (Petsmart) and Lowes (Petco). I don't know if it's accurate, but Petsmart just seems to be a bit more warehouse-like to Petco.
You can get what you need in both stores, so it often just comes down to what you feel about the experience. Petco is put together a bit better. Staff at this location especially is nice, it just leaves you feeling a bit more like you've sold out to another of the corporate giants is all.
