Petland Discounts operates as a pet product retailer with a broad assortment of goods, including aquariums and supplies totaling more than 6,000 items, along with live fish, birds, reptiles, and small animals. Founded in 1965 when Neil Padron opened a store in Glen Oaks, Queens, the business grew into a regional chain with nearly 100 locations in the tri-state area and remains independently owned. Based in Babylon, New York, the company is described as the largest, continuously operated pet chain in America. Its staff are trained to listen to customers, build relationships, and offer guidance on the health and well-being of pets. In January 2019, reports indicated closures of Staten Island locations and additional offices in New York, Connecticut, and New Jersey as part of a broader shutdown following the founder's death. These developments reflect a significant shift in the chain's operations in the wake of that event.
