O'Brien's Closing?

[gokart-mozart]

I heard a rumor that Jim O'Brien's Pet Supply in the Back Bay area of Wolfeboro would be closing soon.

Does anyone have the straight story?

Yes, they wrote on Facebook that they are. And I did hear it from a reliable source.

Got the Facebook post, stopped at the store and spoke with Jen: as soon as they sell the current products, they will close. I think he is going to rent out major space to a dance studio... not sure. We have worked with Jim and his staff for more than 2 years and he is awesome. I cannot even say how much O'Brien's will be missed. He is such a talented dog trainer: he helped us immeasurably with Cosmo to the point that Cosmo successfully received his AKC Good Citizen certificate. Jim O'Brien is unquestionably the hardest worker I know... closing the shop, ending the wonderful Puppy Playtime on Saturdays - a tremendous loss to the community. He's a great guy. It's heartbreaking.

Agree. Jim is a super guy and the store/staff/scope of products were top-drawer. Very, very sad.

What are Jim's future plans? {I don't have Facebook)

Not sure. Haven't spoken directly to Jim. .. not sure if he quite knows yet.

I would think being a full time policeman and with his farm, he will still have plenty to do. I understand they are still going to sell farm products.
