In our San Francisco coalition, pet food express has 50 stores all located in the bay and surrounding bay area, most importantly, pet food express is the fifth largest pet supplier in the u. S. , as the fifth largest supplier in the country, they use their significant buying power for their 50 stores and warehouse their projects in their 150 Square Foot Distribution Center located in oakland. This means they can buy for substantially lower prices in the San Francisco independent store, they can sell their products for what i can buy them for which leads to a direct impact to our community.

Thank you. Commissioneress, my name is jennifer ferries and im here on the Merchants Association to voice our strong opposition to granting this conditional use permit to pet food express, formula retail must be necessary and desirable in order to get this permit, then im not really sure why were still talking about this after four years with 21 locations within 20 miles and another store barely a mile away, this wont add anything unique or necessary to the neighborhood, much of what makes us a great city is the diversity and character of our Small Businesses.
