Grand Opening Activities Featured in Laguna Niguel

On April 26 and 27, Kriser's will offer a variety of grand opening promotions including free pet nail trimmings, free pet IDs and complimentary photos with their pets, all on Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Throughout the weekend, customers can enter to win free pet grooming for a year (a total of eight grooms) or a $250 shopping spree at the store.

As part of its grand opening celebration, Kriser's will deploy the Kriser's Poo Fairies in dog-friendly locations across the Laguna Niguel vicinity to ensure the community is "poo-free." Equipped with a tandem bicycle and white uniforms, Kriser's Poo Fairies reward good citizens for picking up their dogs' poo by handing out Kriser's coupons, treats and free poop bags. Pet parents caught in the responsible act will also receive an "I scooped" sticker to spread the word.

"As people become more discerning about their pets' health and wellness, we've seen an increasing number of pet parents seek resources within their communities to get education and convenient access to quality products under the same roof," added Kriser. "It's engrained in our store culture to offer knowledge first and foremost, alongside tailored recommendations based on their pets' unique needs. We will continue to be a voice for those without one."
