From their enormous selection of products for animals large and small, to the staff’s fantastic attitude, Marc and Nancy Bleckley, the husband and wife ownership team of Market Place Pet Supplies, strive to make shopping for pet supplies a satisfying experience.
‘Our goal is to give the public old fashioned service, which is lacking in today’s retail.? said co-owner Nancy Bleckley.
For the past seven months the staff at Market Place Pet Supplies has been making their business a comfortable and easy environment to shop in.
‘We focus on what people in the area are looking for. Our relationship with our customers and our wide and specialized selection is what separates us from the franchises,? said Marc Bleckley.
Greeting people with a smile and carrying packages to their customer’s cars is only part of what makes Market Place Pet Supplies and it’s staff so special. Each employee knows the vast selection forwards and back and are brimming with helpful advice.
‘We try to talk to people and learn about their animal and their needs and then make a recommendation,? said Marc Bleckley. ‘I’ve been around animals my whole life and when I hire people I always ask if they have pets.?
When the Bleckleys say pets they really do mean pets. From wall to wall inside Market Place’s 5,000-square-foot store are products for dogs, cats, birds both wild and caged, gerbils and other small animals, reptiles and fish. Starting this spring they will also carry horse supplies and equipment.
‘Market Place? also houses an impressive array of tropical fish in all sizes, shapes and colors.
In short, anything someone needs to own a pet can be found at Market Place Pet Supplies.
While customers will always be able to find familiar brands of food, ‘Market Place? has everything from holistic and organic pet food to blends specially formulated for old or young pets.
‘Pet owners are becoming much more educated about what they feed their animals, we can answer their questions and provide their pets with a food that suits them,? said Marc Bleckley.
Down the road Marc and Nancy Bleckley will continue to seek out and stock the best products for pets in the area. Right now the happy couple would like to invite everyone to help celebrate with Boomer, the store’s miniature schnauzer, on his first birthday, with storewide savings and specials through the end of March.
