For almost three months now, owners Leslie McKay and Eloy Trevino have been in their very own space after the two bought their own building, located in the Oak Cliff area known as Downtown Elmwood.
McKay talked to Dallas Voice this week about the move and how Green Pet’s growth is a win for its customers regular and new. Why the move? “It’s always been our goal to own.
We’ve been in business for 15 years, but it’s just taken us this long to find the right space. We’ve had deals come close, but they all fell through.” Before now: Green Pet started on Bishop in what McKay described as a decent-sized shop where they resided for 10 years.
