Team "Pets Mart": The Discount Den Defenders
There's a certain logic to this camp. "Pets" is plural, after all, encompassing the whole menagerie of creatures we cohabitate with. "Mart" evokes a sense of...well, a giant warehouse of pet supplies. Maybe you envision towering shelves overflowing with squeaky toys and discount kibble.
But hold on to your leashes! This theory crumbles when you consider other store names. Do we call it "Shoes Mart" or "Shoe Stop"? Exactly.

Team "Pet Smart": The Brainiac Brigade
This side believes Petsmart is a one-stop shop for not just pet supplies, but also for making your pet, well, smarter. Maybe they'll finally learn to fetch that darn frisbee or quit chewing on your favorite slippers. (We can all dream, right?)
This interpretation aligns with the company's branding, which emphasizes education and responsible pet ownership.
The Verdict: The Official Meow-vement (or Woof-Woof?)
According to Petsmart themselves, the intended pronunciation is "Pet Smart". So, there you have it.
