Elite Equine and Animal Health
Owners: Nick and Justine Flannigan
Location: Fair Grove, Mo.
Products and Services: “We have all types of basic animal supplies – vaccines, dewormers, ear tags, halters, any animal health product that doesn’t require a prescription, dog and cat food and novelty collars. We also carry some women’s western clothing and jewelry, and a lot of farm toys for kids. We see an equal amount of cattle farmers and professional horsemen and trainers come in our store.”
Company History: “We’ve been open about a year and a half. This is our very first location, and we’re actually getting ready to launch our website to expand our market.”
Business goals: “We are offering people an opportunity to buy local – a lot of people are tired of having to go shop at the big chain stores. We focus on customer service, and we believe that quality care of your animals will always pay off down the road,” Justine said. “There are a lot of people out there that will sell you whatever you want, but we try to sell our customers the right product for them,” Nick added.
