Melissa Mitchner of The Bark Shoppe, joins Maxwell and Crystal at our Z100 studios to talk about her pet care facility and coming from humble beginnings.
The Bark Shoppe is New York's premier pet care facility. They have products and services that are all based on the expertise of leading pet care professionals. But it took a lot to get there.
"I had to get comfortable with my confidence and stop shying away from it," Mitchner tells the show, "People need to see, need to hear the story." She continues, "I grew up in the South Bronx, I lived in the projects. I used to see rats running through my walls. It couldn't get any worse than that. The only place to go is up. For me, that's my drive."
