Meet Truong
“I can meet people and communicate with them every day. They are so friendly and lovely.” – Truong
1. What is your name and the name of the business?
2. How long has your business been operating, and how long has it been operating in the Greater Summerside area?
We have been open since 29th November 2022. Greater Summerside is our 1st opening store.
3. Can you tell me about your business and what products/services you offer?
My business specializes in selling pet stuff (food, toys, grooming tools), and providing dog grooming, dog walking, and daily care services.
4. What inspired you to start this business, and what made you choose your location?
Summerside and surrounding people are friendly and they truly love pets, especially dogs. That matches our hobby. We chose WEIC building thanks to being close to beaches and the boardwalk. Moreover, we can keep away from the giant Pet Value and Global Pet Foods.
5. How has the local community responded to your business?
They enjoy my business and support us a lot. We have more than 100 loyal customers at the moment.
6. What do you love most about being a business owner in the Greater Summerside area?
I can meet people and communicate with them every day. They are so friendly and lovely.
7. Are there any specific challenges or advantages to running a business in the Greater Summerside area?
The biggest challenge is the rental fee. The advantage is getting big referrals from customers when they trust us.
8. What are your plans for the future of your business in the Greater Summerside area?
I want to maintain the quality of service and expand more to daily care and walk.
9. Can you share a success story or a memorable experience related to your business in the Greater Summerside area?
The success story is I can groom the biggest dogs that no one can do. That was the first step that gave me more confidence to accept a lot of big dogs now.
10. What advice would you give to someone looking to start a business, and why should they choose the Greater Summerside area?
Be kind and be patient. Let’s work with your heart and enthusiasm. Then money will come.
