The City of Ottawa congratulates the Ottawa PetSmart Distribution Center at 900 E. Stevenson Road on the start of their 189,000 square foot building expansion. The original 1 million square foot building started operation in 2005 and currently employs 420 associates. The facility is being expanded to allow for increased business and to serve additional retail outlets. ClayCo is the contractor coordinating the project which is expected to last 6 months.
Ottawa is proud to have PetSmart in our city and honored that they have chosen our city to expand their facility here,” Ottawa Mayor Robb Hasty stated. Richard Ellis, Senior Manager of DC Facilities, Maintenance and Capital Improvement explained, “In our distribution centers, our goal is to get products to pet parents as efficiently as possible. The building expansion allows us to achieve that goal.”
