Hey guys! Brandon here, exciting news! Today I became a business owner! After 8 wonderful years managing Mountain Tails Pet Boutique, I was given the opportunity to partner with the Scarpa family as an owner of the business! Mountain Tails has always been more than just a job to me. It’s been a space for me to create, serve and connect. Since the beginning, I was given full creative freedom to dream up and grow the business in any direction I wanted. From small dreams, like introducing new healthy brands of food; to big dreams, like moving into our big beautiful location at 506 Elk Avenue. Working at Mountain Tails has given me the opportunity to serve the dog and cat community as well as their beloved humans. The years I’ve spent inside Mountain Tails have largely been defined by all the connections I’ve made with the Crested Butte community. It has been an absolute gift to meet, connect and befriend you all. From the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU! This wouldn’t be possible without your kindness, love for animals and support! If I were to have told 4 year old Brandon, the day he adopted his first dog Chelsea, that one day he would be a pet shop owner, he would have been ecstatic! Again, thank you all for helping this day become a reality! I owe a big shout out to the original creator of Mountain Tails, Autumn Clark (Retail Therapy), for dreaming this whole thing up! To my friend and first boss Evan Kezsbom, thank you for your mentorship and unwavering support! And lastly, to Mike and Anne Scarpa, thank you for seeing my potential and offering me this opportunity! We’re all so lucky to have these fury, four legged companions in our lives. Let's continue to celebrate them!
