We're So Glad
We Had This Time Together
Friends,
We regret to announce that our TreatBuddy store and website are closing permanently.
In late March, we received notice from the new owner of Rimrock Plaza that our rent would increase by more than 60%; and while we can stave off that increase for a while, that will not last long.
In addition, since reopening our store from the Covid closure we've faced many issues. Business is down and inflation is up.
There are tremendous problems with safety, security, and cleanliness at the shopping center that have forced this decision. Having seen and intervened when customers have been threatened by aggressive vagrants and pan-handlers, we've heard and echo the complaints of not feeling safe shopping here. The new landlord has been indifferent to the problems, and in fact has cut security patrols by 50% from when they purchased the complex. We don't believe we can offer the type of environment that our customers and we deserve.
So for these reasons we are closing our store in two weeks. Our last date open to the public will be Wednesday, June 15th.
The good news is that we'll focus on our Glory To Dog toys, treats and greeting cards. Check out GloryToDog.com!
Thank you for 8 wonderful years. We'll miss seeing you and your furkids, and wish you all the best.
As the great Carol Burnett sang at the end of each episode of her variety show, Seems we just got started
and before you know it,
Comes the time we have to say,
'So long.'
Gary, Casey and Farrah
