Looking to Connect with Pet Supply Store Owners/Acquirers

Hey everyone! I’m currently under LOI on a pet supply retail business and just getting into the due diligence phase. I’d love to connect with anyone who owns, has owned, or has acquired a pet supply store before. I'd appreciate any advice, lessons learned, things to watch out for, or areas you think are especially important during diligence and transition. Inventory management, vendor relationships, margins, staffing, customer retention... anything helpful would be great to hear about. If anyone’s open to a quick chat, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
