New barking grounds

National pet store giant PetSmart has signed on with Lincoln Property Co. to be a part of the Arboretum Village at Gaston-Garland-Grand. The director of the PetSmart at Greenville and Lovers, Tom Turner, confirmed that PetSmart “will definitely be there.” He wasn’t sure exactly when the store would open but figures probably in the fall, which is when the other retail stores and restaurants in the Arboretum Village plan to open as well. The location will be 15,397 square-feet, right next to The Fresh Market. PetSmart is a store that carries pets and tons of pet supplies. It also provides grooming, training and many other pet-centric services. So far, we know of five other secured tenants for the new shopping center: Starbucks, Fresh Market, Luke’s Locker, Ace Hardware, and Digg’s Taco Shop.

Ginger Man Pub managed to meet its selfimposed opening date of May 19. Although it hasn’t done a lot of official announcement work, the general buzz has brought plenty of curious neighbors through its doors. “It’s been very steadily busy,” general manager Jacob Bedford says. Like other Ginger Man Pubs, it has more than 100 bottled beer selections, plus 65 brews on draft and a few wine and cider selections as well. Its hours are from 1 p.m. to 2 a.m. every day. Happy hour is from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m.
