Mall store opens for fashionable pets

Beacon Journal staff report

Moochie & Co. is the newest retailer in Summit Mall in Fairlawn. The specialty retail concept for dogs, cats and their owners offers pet treats, accessories, toys and home decoration products.

The new store is the 10th for the Worthington-based company.

''I describe Moochie & Co. as a Pottery Barn for dogs and cats,'' said Mike Dagne, one of the company's owners. ''Everything in the store will be cool, sophisticated and fun, but none of it will be completely frivolous or exceedingly pricey. Our product mix emphasizes style, quality and function.''
