PJ’s Pets has announced it will be closing 27 locations across Canada, including 11 in Ontario.

"We are saddened to say that we are closing our doors after almost 50 years of serving the pet community across Canada," Brad Hamilton, the vice president of PJ's Pets, said in a news release issued Friday.

In light of the closures, the company said it will be offering up to 30 per cent off on pet food, pet supplies and accessories.

"Our business was able to thrive for so many years as a result of our loyal associates and amazing customers. We encourage our customers to take advantage of the extraordinary savings on all of our remaining merchandise,” Hamilton said.

The store closures include multiple GTA locations including stores in the Bramalea City Centre and Pickering Town Centre.

One Toronto location at 3291 Yonge Street, north of Lawrence Avenue, will also be shuttered.
