Testimonials
It used to be my go to for dog food. Now, they never have my type and brand of food. I’ve asked management but they blame it in something else. I asked them to order the freedom blue buffalo can food and the only response: oh we can’t request anything because the company orders that. Last time I knew managers were suppose to keep up with stock. If out of stock, reorder more. If a product is moving off the shelves quickly and is a great seller then order more. All I got was excuses and handed the card of the blue buffalo rep. I called him. No response. This is management that can close a store.
