Mellisa’s Pet Depot in Fairhaven Closing February 2026

FAIRHAVEN (WBSM) — Mellisa’s Pet Depot is closing its Fairhaven store next month.

Why the Fairhaven Location is Closing

The store posted to Facebook this afternoon that the Fairhaven location at 8 Sarah’s Way in the CVS plaza will be closing on February 14, 2026 due to the retirement of one of the owners.

“We are closing this location ONLY!” Mellisa’s Pet Depot posted. “Our Dartmouth store will remain open and will honor all gift cards, store credits and frequent buyer programs.”
