PoochyKat

👍👍 Boo’s new favourite store 🥰 We’ve been to a couple of local pet stores around the area and this little one is the best so far. The mother-daughter duo is super friendly, very knowledgeable and helpful, definitely not the one that pushes you to buy the most expensive items. UPDATE: I just feel the...

The Koi Store

Aquarium shop

👍 First off, get the number of the store and call before you go to make sure the owner will be there. He's only open a few hours, a few days a week and doesn't always make it on time for those hours. Also, the koi tubs are in the basement so if he is showing them to customers he will lock the front do...

Spring & Rain Gardens

Florist

🫤 4 star for the bouquet, 1 star for the customer service. This Cantonese-speaking couple was weird (I can speak the language but I like going undercover sometimes). I asked if they have flower bouquets and they said no at first. I literally saw a whole fridge of them inside the store and said “then w...
