Dave Bolen, president and chief executive officer of Pet Supplies Plus, wrote in a recent statement, “The prime location, together with the extensive renovations the building has undergone, made the decision to relocate extremely attractive for our organization and its employees. Our new headquarters will support our aggressive growth plan and enable us to attract top talent in the retail industry.”
