CVG Instagram follower Lucas C let us know today that Petco Westlake Village is closing. A store representative indicated that December 24 will be their final day. Petco is, soon to be was, located next to Trader Joe's at 3835 E Thousand Oaks Boulevard in the North Ranch Shopping Center.

There was some discussion via Instagram and Facebook as to what is coming next to this spot. Could Trader Joe’s be expanding? Well, according to a current North Ranch Shopping Center site leasing brochure, what looks to be happening is that the Trek Bike Shop will be moving from its existing spot to the larger Petco spot, freeing up its current space for Daiso Japan. Daiso is a Japanese variety and value store offering a wide range of household items. There are Daiso stores in West Hills and Northridge.  Learn more at daisojapan.com.

We have not independently confirmed these future plans, so stay tuned for updates.
