Now the citizens of Gary and surrounding areas do not have to travel far in order to purchase pet supplies, they can save time and gas and shop close to home.”

The opening events included fun activities, refreshments, raffles and music. Also, the store’s first 25 neighbors received a gift package and other free giveaways.
While All Pet Supplies is offering quality products to the community, the store will also aim to be a strong supporter of the local community.
