The store is supporting the community’s post-COVID-19 recovery with the creation of eight new jobs.
It will also cater to the wider community with the addition of rural supplies.
The company acquired Benalla Produce late in 2021, adding to its growing list of regional stores in a handover from one family-owned business to another.
Rebranding as PETstock Country, PETstock will continue to support the local community by catering to rural property essentials including fencing, crop management, weed and pest control, general rural merchandise, water equipment, livestock health and feed.
In addition to farming supplies, PETstock will service traditional household pet needs with key services including DIY dog wash, grooming, puppy school, personalised pet ID tags and fish tank water testing.
PETstock state manager Samuel Flanagan said he was thrilled to be able to welcome Benalla residents to PETstock with the introduction of services not previously available.
“We’re now able to introduce new services and thousands of products from our general pet range, providing a comprehensive stock food range and offering specialist hobby farm equipment,” Mr Flanagan said.
“In addition to expanding our services, the store will support local organisations, such as local rescue groups, by providing them with free in-store space, temporary or permanent, for our Petadopt program where adoptable pets can find forever families in a convenient and friendly environment.”
PETstock Benalla is located at 2/6 Yellow Brick Rd, Benalla and is open weekdays from 8.30am-5.30pm, Saturdays 9am-3pm and Sundays 10am-3pm. The store can be contacted on 5762 6924.
