The Pet Deli display counter offers an assortment of fresh, frozen, raw and cooked food. There is also a special sample wall where furry friends can taste-test to find their favorite chow.

The opening of the store will also cater to the community by providing pet lovers and their loved ones with a local, pet-friendly hangout.
