What value do you believe indie pet stores offer to the pets and people of their communities?
"Indie pet stores are much more than places to buy pet food. We're part of the fabric of our customers' lives—from witnessing the joy of a family adopting their first puppy to supporting the elderly whose world may revolve around a beloved cat. At Luke & Company, we celebrate life's journey together with our community. It's about sharing a love for every dog, cat, and human that walks through our doors. Above all, our customers trust us to provide the most knowledgeable and informed nutritional advice, ensuring their pets get the very best."
Why is it important to celebrate and support independent pet retailers with an event like Neighborhood Pet Store Day?
"Neighborhood Pet Store Day allows us to highlight our unique contributions amidst a market dominated by giants like Amazon and big box chains. It's crucial to remember the distinct culture and flavor of our local communities, which are shaped by small businesses like ours. This day helps us demonstrate across North America that we're a unified group of small businesses dedicated to offering exceptional products and services for pets."
How did you celebrate last year's event? What did you offer shoppers?
"Last year, we handed out goodie bags stuffed with treats, toys, and a logo’d tennis ball to each visiting family. We also provided discounts and deals on various brands we carry. It was a festive way to show our gratitude to our customers."
What was the most memorable part of last year's event?
"The best part was seeing the sheer happiness in our customers—both human and animal. The joy of those receiving a free goodie bag on top of their purchase truly made the day special. We succeeded in our goal: to make many tails wag and many faces smile."
How do you plan to celebrate Neighborhood Pet Store Day this year?
"This year, we're thinking of doing something even bigger with a storewide sale of 20% or 25%. We're excited to offer great value while also celebrating our community bonds."
