The building is now occupied by a thrift shop. Whole Foods is where Navlet's Garden Center used to be located. Navlet's is a locally owned chain of garden centers. They have stores in Pleasant Hill, Concord, Danville, and Martinez. I used to work at their main office in Pleasant Hill. The people there were very friendly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-16681137782581225302009-10-25T18:05:02.866-07:002009-10-25T18:05:02.866-07:00I love Pet Food Express!

Employees go to "Pet Food U" to learn about the various kinds of pet food and how to help pet owners figure out what's best for their own 'companion animal.' (Full disclosure here .. my son worked for the company when he was a teen, so I saw firsthand the kind of ongoing training staff is expected to have). So glad they are coming back to Walnut Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-239044155809741001.post-76171468956263898312009-10-25T10:25:08.511-07:002009-10-25T10:25:08.511-07:00I think that when a new store opens, that is a goo...I think that when a new store opens, that is a good topic for this blog. <br /><br />I like Pet Food Express, too. <br /><br />I didn't know that Elephant Pharm had closed. I don't go to that TJ's because it always seems to be so crowded and the parking lot is a small nightmare, similar to the one at Whole Foods.

I have seen kittens and dogs. A big chain like Petco always seems so impersonal, but employees at Pet Food Express are really cheerful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
