Already an owner of a Pet Valu location in Yorkton, Saskatchewan, Sarah Kowalchuk knows what owning a pet store entails.
So, when the prospect came about to take over ownership of the Pet Valu store here in Dauphin, Sarah couldn't help but jump at the opportunity of bringing her knowledge and experience of all things pet-related to the Parkland.
Sarah spoke with CKDM about her journey with the company:
"I bought the store in Yorkton when I got a new puppy, and I was shopping at the store, when I brought him in, I saw a sign on the door saying it was for sale, and I felt like it was really good for me, I've loved pets my entire life. It's very exciting to have two businesses now in the same Pet Valu family. I just can't wait."
Kowalchuk explains some of the changes she plans on making;
"My store here in Yorkton has lots of small animals, and I want to introduce that to Dauphin as well. I think it's a really big need. So we have things like hamsters and guinea pigs here in Yorkton, and I want to bring those to Dauphin."
Sarah adds that she loved her first impressions of Dauphin when she visited last month and cant wait to get to know the community.
