sooo
i talked with jeff for awhile tonight and i think we're back on opening a pet shop up around here. honestly, its a 50/50. it would either work really well because it would be, hopefully, one of a kind and ALOT cleaner/friendlier then the other pet centers around here. I know as a basic rule of thumb most people don't care as much about animals as i do, and maybe if i had a really clean and healthy inventory of pets it wouldn't matter. but then again it may. every store around here, i go into, is overcrowded. dirty. and just a poor business. birds...no...MACAWS left in small cages with one conure sized toy and they wonder why it chews its tail off.
huge pet store chains that care more about making a sale then spending time with the animals and making them fit for owners.
and most importantly i would want it to be small and comfortable so i could get to know the possible owners of whatever animals i had in stock. AND i would only carry exotics. or at least breeds/animals that are somewhat hard to comeby. gotta have some aspect of competition.
So im pretty excited to look into it more. I actually know a few people that had started small little pet centers. i think i shall call em up. maybe ill even do a strictly birds store. we have regal reptiles. fishbowl. but no specialty in bird places. hmm.
on another note we also decided to start making homemade bird toys. it could be the start of a nice little business.
