A former Blockbuster Video location on Monroe Avenue in the city will soon have a new occupant. 

Pet Supplies Plus, a national pet retailer based in Michigan, will open a store in a commercial building at the corner of Monroe and Goodman Street. The 5,470-square-foot building has sat vacant since Blockbuster Video closed a store there in November 2013. 

Pet Supplies Plus will have a grand opening 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Jan. 7 and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Jan. 8. Managers are planning sweepstakes, sales and activities for kids and pets. 

“Our store is large enough to carry everything your pet needs, and you can always expect to receive neighborly service. Ultimately, we want to provide our neighbors and their pets with the best shopping experience possible,” said Diane Butler, store team leader of Pet Supplies Plus in Rochester. 

A grand opening sweepstakes will give a chance to win a free one-year supply of Purina dog or cat food. The company will be handing out free dog-wash and nail-trim coupons for the month of January.
