Petshop is a shared creative space in Benson
with galleries, studios, offices, and event space.

About

Taking over what was a defunct exotic pet store,
Petshop was founded as a studio & gallery space in June 2012 by Ben McQuillan, Jamie Danielle Hardy, & Alex Jochim.

Next door, within the same building, a similar space dubbed Sweatshop was founded in July 2012
- featuring a gallery and live music venue - by Kim Darling, Sarah Rowe, Alex Jochim, Jamie Danielle Hardy, Dan Cavanagh, & Caitlin Little.

In 2015, a wall was knocked down and the two became one under the name PETSHOP.

In 2018, PETSHOP expanded further north, to encompass 2725, 2727, & 2729 N. 62nd Street.
This new addition holds additional studio spaces, along with the offices, meeting space, and storage for BFF Omaha.

Petshop was created by a team of creatives
and a supportive community.
"Sweatshop Date Night" - above - was a successful fundraiser partnered with Lot 2 restaurant in 2013.

Petshop co-founders Jamie Danielle Hardy, Ben McQuillan,
& Alex Jochim.
