Kriser's Natural Pet to open in The Woodlands March 28

THE WOODLANDS, Texas - Kriser's, a multi-unit retailer specializing in natural pet food, supplies and grooming, will host a grand opening at its fourth Houston-area location March 28-29 in The Woodlands at 1925 Hughes Landing Blvd., adjacent to the new Whole Foods. This marks the latest in the retailer's Houston expansion, following successful openings of its Heights, Vintage and West University locations in 2014.

Kriser's in The Woodlands brings area pet parents the best curated selection of natural pet foods, treats, toys, supplements, and supplies, and outstanding grooming services. The trained staff offers customers and their pets an unmatched and highly personal shopping experience. Kriser's has been recognized with multiple national honors for its excellence in the pet industry, most recently with the Best Overall Pet Retailer at the 2015 Global Pet Expo.

"Kriser's is ecstatic to continue our mission of helping pets live happier, healthier lives, naturally, in The Woodlands," said Brad Kriser, CEO and founder. "We strive to provide pet parents with the tools and resources needed to support a natural lifestyle for their furry family members. Our growth is an exciting opportunity to carry on this tradition and become a resource for area pet parents."

Kriser's will offer a number of activities and promotions throughout the grand opening weekend, including free pet ID tags, giveaways, free pet nail trimmings from 11 - 4 on Saturday and Sunday, free pet photography on Saturday from 11-4, and in-store raffles for store and grooming gift certificates. (Giveaways and promotions are while supplies last.)

Kriser's will deploy their signature Poo Fairies in dog-friendly locations and shopping destinations around The Woodlands, helping to ensure the communities are "poo-free zones." The Kriser's Poo Fairies - complete with ears and tails - reward pet parents for picking up their dogs' poo with Kriser's coupons, dog treats, free poop bags and "I Scooped" stickers.

To further their commitment to The Woodlands pet community, Kriser's will partner with several local rescue groups. Customers will have an opportunity to cast their vote for their favorite participating organization when making a purchase. Kriser's will award a percentage of Saturday sales to the rescue with the most votes.
