Brian Wilson, owner of Pet Supplies Plus, said the store was honored as Sandy City’s new business of the year and stressed the shop’s neighborhood focus. "We love being here in Sandy and we love the community that we have," Wilson said.

Wilson said the store treats customers as "neighbors," recognizes their pets and gives treats to dogs that come in. He said he and his wife chose to open a local business after reviewing about 50 investment opportunities and ultimately "chose the pet industry." "We hope to be our neighbors' favorite pet supply store," he said.

Wilson described the shop’s services and community work: a full-service grooming area, a self-groom bay where customers can wash their dogs, and a broad range of pet food "from grocery all the way up to fresh, frozen, and everything in between." He said the business spends time working with local schools by bringing pets to teach children about pet care and donates food to local animal shelters.

The remarks were presented as part of the business's recognition; no formal council action was recorded in the provided transcript segment. Wilson closed by reiterating the store’s community orientation: "When they come in, they recognize us."
