Maxi Zoo, Ireland’s largest speciality pet retailer, is to open its ninth store in Dublin. The premises at Nutgrove Shopping Centre will boast a vast array of products and brings to 33 the number of Maxi Zoo outlets in the country.
A weekend of celebrations is planned at the new Dublin store from Friday, July 5th-7th.
On Saturday and Sunday, families and their four-legged friends can expect a variety of in-store activities, including face painting, balloon modellers, a live in-store DJ, giveaways and goodies, plus 20 per cent off everything across the weekend exclusive to the Nutgrove store.
The red carpet will be rolled out for a ‘Pupparazi and Cat Walk,’ where shoppers can parade their pets and take some photos.

“We’re continuously listening to our customers and responding to their needs and the needs of their pets, with the result that every Maxi Zoo store is now kitted out with top class facilities, a vast array of products, and hugely helpful staff, all of whom are animal lovers themselves.
“The new store at Nutgrove is another milestone in what’s been an amazing journey for Maxi Zoo Ireland.”
