Petco is trying to Amazon-proof its business. Time will tell if the strategy really works. The privately held pet-goods retailer has just opened a new service-focused store that aims to give shoppers something they can’t buy online. A pilot location opened this past Friday in San Marcos, California. Called PetCoach, it offers grooming, training, veterinary care, dog walking and more.
The questionnaire, however, may speak volumes about the direction the team hopes to go.
The Brummer family could be the answer to who are the biggest Padres fans. When their son Kameron was 3, he could name the whole roster. San Marcos resident Kameron Brummer’s impressive knowledge of the current Padres roster was captured on video by his mom, Sonja Brummer, at a July 1 game at Petco Park when the Padres took on the Los Angeles Dodgers. At only 3 years old, the toddler knows each player on the Padres lineup.
So, their response was no surprise when the family received the survey from the team in an email.
