Hey Paw Family,
Ryan here! Most of you know what that means, but, this is going to a whole new audience! Melissa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I've been radio silent for a couple weeks, why you may ask?! We see your long posts Ryan and we are glued to them and read them all the way through (π€£, let me have this ok!). Anyway, We are hard at work trying to open up a new location in MELISSA Texas!!!!!!!!!!!
Less than 15% of our business comes from outside of Anna, We have created a huge family here, and so it is time to expand that family!
Melissa, we are hard at work to bring our Paw Family to you. If you don't know what we are about, we are a local, family owned Pet Supply, Grooming, Self Service Tubs, and Farm Feed store based in Anna, but we are doing our best to come to you. We can't wait to meet all of you!!!!!!!!!! In addition you can learn more about us by checking out our Facebook posts. We are as transparent as they come and have even posted our profit and loss statement online and we fully explain how our business runs and decisions we make constantly to the community.
My wife and I (Jessica and Ryan) started Paw of the Family almost 5 years ago. We are not a franchise or corporation, in fact we sold our home to fund starting the business because we wanted complete control over what we sold. There is not a single bag of Pet food in our store that has any Corn, Wheat, Soy, By-products, Artifical Flavors and preservatives. We carry FROMM, Nutrisource, Taste of the Wild, Open Farm, Diamond Naturals, SquarePet and more, and a full freezer section of frozen raw and gently cooked foods. Good food does NOT need to be expensive, our highest selling bag is FROMM Classic purple, it is a 30lb bag of dog food for $45 and every 12 bags you buy you get 1 free which we track for you. We also subscribe to every deal and every discount we can get our hands on to save folks as much money as we can!
Our location in Melissa will be a bit smaller than our Anna location because rent is expensive and we can't afford a bigger location yet lol. It will likely be focused on Pet Food/Supplies only and have 2 self-service tubs :). If farm feed or grooming is needed, we will have it at our main Anna location (and can send what you need to the Melissa location for farm feed), or we can book appointments for you at our 2 grooming locations in Anna.
Phew, my fingers are getting tired. Mainly, I just wanted to say hi, introduce ourselves, and say, we are trying hard to come to you Melissa! You don't know us yet, but we are going to do our best to earn your business and generate the same loving Paw Family we have here in Anna. Come on 10 mins down the road and check us out. We would love to say hello! If you see stuff you like but don't want to make the trip, we also have same day delivery to Melissa right now!
To our Anna Family, WE AINT GOING ANYWHERE! We are growing to fortify ourselves to stay in business as more business come out this direction. Our values aren't changing, and Jess and I will be jumping between locations so we can still see all of our friends!
We love you Paw Family from the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for all you have done for us!
