BETTENDORF, IOWA (May 23, 2024) — Pet Supplies Plus will host a ribbon-cutting on Friday, June 7, 2024, 4PM. The business is located at 3280 Middle Road in Bettendorf, Iowa (in the former Bettendorf Office Products building, near Hy-Vee).

Pet Supplies Plus is a locally-owned company focused on offering local pet parents a hassle-free way to find better products for their pets, while saving them money and celebrating the fun of pet ownership.  In addition, the store will offer amenities such as grooming, self-pet wash stations, a knowledgeable pet-care team, delivery, and carry-out service in which team members carry heavy items to neighbors’ cars.

The store is owned by Tom Bernau of Bernau Capital Group and is operated by Iowa native Suzy Schweer, who originally owned the local pet stores. Originally from the Waterloo/Cedar Falls area, Schweer opened her first Pet Supplies Plus in 2016 in her hometown. Since then, Schweer has grown her Pet Supplies Plus stores across the state of Iowa reaching from the state capitol of Des Moines to the newest location in Bettendorf.

As a community partner, Schweer will team up with local animal shelters, rescue organizations, and non-profits to host year-round adoption events, fundraisers, and pet-food and product drives. “I am excited to bring a fantastic community-based pet store to Bettendorf," said Schweer. "We absolutely love being a part of the Quad Cities community already with our store in Davenport, our ultimate goal is to have locations for all of our Iowa neighbors to have access to great pet care across the state." To welcome the community, Suzy, will host a weekend long grand opening event. Beginning Saturday, June 8, and continuing through Sunday, June 9, the new Pet Supplies Plus will offer special prize giveaways, fun games, sale prices and more. Text bettendorf to 34653 for a chance to win a gift card up to $250. All participants will receive a coupon for the store. 

The primary giveaways are as follows:

  • Saturday, June 8–Sunday, June 9: Neighbors have a shot at winning a complimentary, one-year supply of Redford Natural’s dry dog or dry cat food. Vote for your favorite rescue so they can win a cash prize.

Pet Supplies Plus will offer Bettendorf pet parents a wide selection of natural pet foods, goods, and pet services at low prices and focus on a unique, rich in-store experience for “neighbors” (the term Pet Supplies Plus uses for customer). Pet parents are always welcome to shop with their pets at the store, where knowledgeable team members are on-site to answer questions, offer tips or just get on their hands and knees to play with pets who enter the store. Neighbors have access to an experienced and knowledgeable team help them find everything they need.
