Dog Savvy, a longtime business in Larmer Square, is at risk of closing due to a decline in sales following the pandemic. The store is now turning to the community for help.
“The future of Dog Savvy right now is the most uncertain it’s been in our entire duration of operation,” said Robb Horen, co-owner of Dog Savvy. “Without the continued support of our community through this difficult time, we face the real possibility of having to cease operations on Larimer Square.”
Dog Savvy, which opened in October 2006, provides grooming services as well as a wide variety of pet supplies and accessories. Horen said Larimer Square’s heavy foot traffic in the pre-pandemic days gave them a boost at the beginning of their business.
“When we first opened it up, it was on the upswing of the critical mass coming into downtown, with the retail and restaurants really starting to thrive,” explained Horen. “And we rode out that wave where we kind of went through a restaurant renaissance. There was lots of new restaurants and businesses opening up in the downtown city.” Read the full story at our partner, Denver7.
