'Size matters'
There's a small pet food store across from St Francis Xavier church that you must know about if you live in central Phoenix.
Oliver and Annie sits in a midtown strip mall along Central Avenue, tucked away between a modern furniture store (Haus) and a coffeebar (Lola's). I stumbled on O&A about two months ago, and have not been to another pet food store since. There are three reasons why you should shop here too:
1) The store's shelves are stocked with a variety of all natural products at reasonable prices.
2) I've seen the store owner give every customer the star treatment.
3) The best part - the store owner contributes money, time, and his store name to many worthwhile animal charities and other community causes. He's a responsible local business partner, which makes spending money here a no brainer.
Besides all that, you should see my dog's 'happy dance' when I come home carrying a bag from Oliver and Annie.
BTW: O&A is LRC (light rail convenient) - south of Central and Camelback station, west side of street, just south of the Landmark condos.
