Want your business to be the top-listed Pet Store/pet Service?
History Howard Soldan (Senior) purchased an existing store in 1955, which primarily catered to farmers, selling products such as feed and fertilizer. Known as Ruhf's Feed Store, it served the Lansing market under Soldan's leadership until he sold it in 1972. Howard and Erna Soldan intended to semi-retire and spend their summers on Mackinac Island with their youngest son, Howard Soldan II. They began enjoying some leisure time, expecting that a chapter of their lives had ended.
As it turned out, they did much more than just "stick it out". They worked long hours and watched the company grow. In the mid eighties, Howard Soldan II slowly took on the role of visionary and risk taker of the company. In 1985, they moved out of the original store and moved into a new facility built behind the original store. In 1987, they added a second location. In the early 1990's, three additional stores were added. In 1999, Soldan's purchased a three store, independent chain in the Michigan Tri-City Area. Additional locations were added in 2000 and 2004. After several renovations, some moves, and the closing of a couple of stores, Soldan's, today consists of eight retail locations plus a mill.
It seems everyone wants a "piece" of the pet specialty business - whether it's the national pet supply chains, the warehouse clubs, grocery stores, mass market, or internet websites. Competition is healthy. Soldan's has to constantly strive to differentiate itself from the competition. Soldan's has earned an excellent reputation for customer service. The Soldan's employees are proactive in their approach to helping the customers - greeting each customer, answering questions, locating the right products, transferring products, handling special orders, carrying out purchases, thanking our customers, etc... In addition, keeping prices competitive and offering a large selection of products is a key to our success.
