Mercantile On Broad - The Pet & People Place

"I absolutely love the best pet store the people here are very very friendly the animals here are so cute there's actual bird that sits there and actually speaks to you it is amazing I love it here. This is the only place I go to for my hermit crabs"

"Very knowledgeable, staff is always helpful. Went in for dry shampoo for a dog, wasn't able to find my usual, the employee there was able to help me find a similar substitute according to my pet's needs. Wonderful experience."

"Just moved from Laurinburg to Rockingham so I went in here just to check out what they had to compare it to Tractor Supply, walked out wishing I spent money here first! I did not walk out empty handed though. I overheard an employee talking with another customer about a food brand that I personally feed all of my fur babies, asked him more about it at the register and he walked me over to all the brands he recommends for both cats and dogs. He then gave me a very generous amount of free samples for my cats and a toy for the kittens we just rescued. I take in a lot of strays on my own and was very overwhelmed by the kindness. Knowledgeable and nice employees, clean and tidy store, AND a rewards system, what more could you ask for from your local pet shop? Ya’ll will be seeing more of me soon."

"A couple of weeks ago, just after the remnants of Hurricane Ian swept through our area, a friend of mine had found a small doggy sleeping in the street near her house, wet and cold. We tried to locate an owner, to no avail. My friend couldn’t keep this little guy, so my husband and I took him in. We were unable to get him to eat anything except human food, which we knew was not good for him, so we visited the folks at the Mercantile. Ryan and Dale were very informative, and offered us some food samples to try to get our new furry family member to eat something healthy for him. When they heard how we came about having our new little guy, they were very happy that we were willing to rescue him and give him a safe home. They offered some very helpful tips in helping him feel less scared, and in helping our other two dogs with the new addition. I can’t say thank you enough times to these fellas for all their help, and we know that from now on, these are the folks we will go to for all of our pet care and food needs! Pictures of our little Deputy Barney Fluff from the day of rescue to present. He is a very happy, well-adjusted, tail-wagging little boy!"

"Recently had my classroom turtle tank completely overhauled. I was prepared to spend $300 for a new filter on Amazon thank goodness I decided to go local. They suggested a filter that was $50 and it's amazing! They helped me make so many great decisions based on their years of experience and owning turtles themselves. They had everything I needed including very hard to get aquarium stones. After voicing my anxiety about setting everything up properly they offered their set-up services at an incredible price and I took them up on their wonderful offer. They were on time, brought everything they needed, were professional, and answered all my questions. It was so cool watching them transform my empty tank into this stunning wonderland for my turtles. This is why you go local!!! This is now my family's store, it's part of our weekly lives. It feels so important to support local businesses like theirs. To create these perfect little worlds for pets when the world feels unpredictable. This is why we chose to live in a small town. For community, to make connections with our neighbors, to support each other. I would recommend Mercantile and RD Aquarium Services to everyone with a pet or thinking about getting a pet 100%!!!"
