Chico’s Natural Pet Market invites the community to a holiday bazaar/yard sale outside its new location at 6464-A Lincolnia Road in Barcroft Plaza on Saturday, December 23, 10 am-3 pm
There will be pet supplies, shelving and furniture from the store’s former location, holiday decorations, kitchen items, and much more.
It’s a great opportunity to pick up some last-minute gifts, says owner Danielle Areco. He also encourages customers to buy items to donate to shelters and people in need.
Chico’s is offering gift wrapping services daily, 2-8 pm, through Dec. 24. People can bring gifts purchased at other stores, as well as Chico’s. The service is free, but donations are appreciated.
The store is struggling financially, so Areco hopes those activities will help him make enough money for next month’s rent.
That is the top priority. On top of that, Areco is trying to raise money to finish building the store, which the landowner, Federal Realty, had promised but failed to deliver.
Areco will add a cat adoption center to the store once she takes care of immediate needs and raises another $10,000.
All of the dog and cat foods that Chico’s stocks are minimally processed and air-dried or freeze-dried. The store also sells pet clothing, pet toys and accessories, and food for birds and small animals. Aquariums have been set up and fish will be added soon.
