Gordon’s Feed & Pet
Manager: Bob Cotton
Location: Rogersville, Mo.
History: At the end of 2011, Bob Cotton became manager of Gordon’s Feed & Pet. Originally it was Cogdill’s Country Store. Bob said, “I believe it was 2004 when Gordon’s purchased this store.” The store is owned by John Gayer.
Bob said, “Gordon’s is a family-owned small chain of stores. Since I’ve worked with them, I’ve found out that they really do care about their customers. I care about my customers, and whatever I can do to help them I will do.”
Products: They are a Purina dealer. Bob stated, “We carry all kinds of large animal Purina feeds, and the small animal; dog and cat. We carry a lot of exotic foods.” They also carry shavings, bedding, wood pellets, water softener pellets and fencing supplies. He said, “We have a little bit of everything and if we don’t have it, I’ll do my best to get it for you.” He added, “We have so many products it’s hard to mention them all. We do a large volume in bird seeds. We’re expanding on our wildlife section. During the fall season, I bring in hunting blinds and feeders.”
Special Events: They have several special events at the store. They held a horse owner workshop last month. They also had Chick Days. April 12th was Customer Appreciation Day. Bob said, “In the fall I’ll have the Bow Shoot, which is a charity shoot.” This year the charity is going to be Cross Trail Outfitters (CTO). He said, “It’s a nationwide charity. They help handicapped, disabled, less fortunate children be able to hunt, fish and camp. They do a lot of good work.”
Location: “I’m right on Highway 60. Everybody passes me going to and from Springfield,” the manager smiled.
