Bosco’s Biscuits has been a thriving business in Carefree for 25 years. During that time I have had the pleasure of serving quality pet foods and products to the pet owners of Carefree and beyond. I strive to maintain high quality products and service and have purposefully maintained a neutral position to protect my business from local politics.
Recently, Carefree Truth quoted me in their October 24th newsletter with language that did not represent me. In fact, nothing in the quote was true. I have never spoken to Councilwoman-elect Roth about the NE corner of Carefree Highway and Cave Creek Road, which is currently slated for development.
My store is a full-service pet store. It is not just “cute toys and biscuits”, as stated. In fact, two years ago I doubled my space to accommodate my expanded product lines of quality pet food. Carefree Truth also mentioned Pet Food Depot, which closed two years ago, and Pet Smart, who is my local competitor. I have no idea why Carefree Truth would make up this conversation! When I questioned the author on the facts contained within the article, I was told that I “just didn’t remember the conversation.” Really…I consider myself a very successful businesswoman who has quietly built a respected and dedicated clientele that seek quality products, and assure you that I have a very good memory.
I feel that people should know the truth. I intend to keep my store the Switzerland of dog food Emporiums that it has always been, which is why I have chosen to put this response out for public knowledge. The “REAL TRUTH” still matters.
