We built this city....

On blood, sweat, & tears. In four days & five trucks, we restocked an entire store. Dog & cat- food, treats, toys, etc. omg! Go to your local large pet store & just take a moment to look at just how many brands & flavors of animal food is available. Seriously. No, really. Go look. Do you have any idea how many dog treats are on the market?!
Four days & we stocked every shelf. Aquatics, small animal, & bird was done in one day. Planograms & endcaps. Drive aisle products. An entire store in four very long days.
Thursday we got in reptiles. ALL the reptiles. Friday we got all the small & furries along with 1500 fish. My boss & I got them all set up & out.
I am exhausted. But the store is beautiful. Everything is brand new. It looks amazing. I can't believe we pulled it off. I am surrounded by 30 co-workers who really love their jobs.
We open on Monday. I can't wait. As tragic as the fire was, I gotta see the silver lining. We literally got a brand new store. Top to bottom & front to back.
Remind me of how blessed I feel after we open! Our customers have missed us & even the local competition is ready for us to open. We instill loyalty in our customer base & they have let the "other" pet store know how much they suck & how much better we are. Its going to be wild & crazy when we open the doors on Monday. But I love, love, LOVE my job. I'm ready. After I sleep & rest the next two days
