PetSmart Inc.
The pet products retailer has more than 1,500 stores in Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. The main cause of PetSmart’s problems is more or less the same as others. More and more consumers are turning to e-commerce nowadays since it’s more convenient and sometimes offers cheaper prices. PetSmart did buy Chewy which is an e-commerce site, but the $3.35 billion expense for the site only added to the company’s existing debt.
