For years Parkview Pet Supplies was a small but well known establishment located on Balmoral and Broadway. It has been a favorite of pet owners particularly those whose pets may have had special dietary needs. The owner knew everyone’s name and the business had rave reviews on digital media.

Over the last couple of months, loyal customers let us know that the store would be closing sometime before 2015. The owner decided to wait until after Christmas. He told regular customers that he had been losing business due to pet owners meeting their needs through online ordering or larger chain stores.

He officially closed his doors on December 29, 2014 and apparently liquidated his inventory. In his closing weeks, he had a sign up sheet for anyone who wished to maintain contact to provide their information.

The store now sits almost vacant with only a few things left inside and no note or signage on the door. There is no forwarding information on listed phone number which is still listed with directory assistance. The only message is an automated one stating, “We’re sorry; your call cannot be completed as dialed.”
