 BREAKING NEWS FROM THE LATE-NIGHT SHIFT:

Harry Manilow, Interior Design Visionary (Self-Appointed)

For the past two evenings, while most respectable dogs were tucked into their beds dreaming of tennis balls and unpaid naps, I was clocking in for overtime.

Yes.
Overtime.

The lights were low.
The treat bins whispered.
The humans looked… determined but slightly snack-deprived.

And there I was — Harry Manilow — supervising the Great Center-of-the-Store Transformation of 2025.

You see, my humans decided it was time to add new fixturing right in the middle of Zoomies & Purr. More space. More shelves. More room for important things. Like treats. And other treats. And also the treats behind the treats.

I personally oversaw the operation.

I inspected every shelf for emotional stability.
I tested traffic flow by dramatically lying in the aisle.
I approved layouts using my patented “sit, stare, sigh” method.
I provided morale by existing beautifully nearby.

Teamwork.

By night two, things were getting serious. There were boxes. There was measuring. There was the sound of humans saying things like, “Wait… does this go here?” which is my cue to tilt my head and pretend I know architecture.

And somehow — somehow — we did it.

✨ NEW FIXTURES.
✨ MORE SPACE.
✨ EVEN MORE AMAZING FOOD AND TREATS.

Zoomies & Purr has officially grown again, and I could not be prouder. We’re bringing in more brands, more variety, and more good-for-your-pet goodness — all while keeping prices lower than most places, because my humans believe that good food should not require a second mortgage or a dramatic sigh at the register.

Frankly, I take partial credit.

Growth like this doesn’t just “happen.”
It happens when a shop dog believes hard enough.
And supervises intensely.
And occasionally sits directly in the way.

I watched this store go from “cute idea” to “wow, we need more shelves” — and let me tell you, that kind of glow-up deserves a slow clap… preferably with paws.

So if you come in and notice new fixtures, new products, and an even fuller center of the store, just know:

✨ This was a late-night labor of love.
✨ Powered by snacks, teamwork, and mild chaos.
✨ Approved by Harry Manilow, Head of Vibes & Shelf Confidence.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I must rest.
Being this helpful is exhausting.
And I have earned… at minimum… three compliments and a treat.

Love,
Harry Manilow
Director of Store Expansion,
Protector of Prices,
Champion of Late-Night Retail Dreams
