February 2006

This month at Metropawlis

We've been telling you about our move to the Third Ward for several months, and we're now in our final weeks on Brady Street.  This move brings with it very mixed emotions: We're very excited about our new, larger space and the addition of fresh, baked-in-store pet treats, but we're sad to say goodbye to Brady.  Our current location was a great place for us to start our business, and we cannot thank those in the neighborhood enough for their support and friendship.  We hope that everyone will visit us in the Third Ward and will enjoy our new and improved boutique for your cats and dogs!  

Please check out details below on our store closing, great moving savings, and our plans for re-opening in March!

February VIP Savings: Up to 50% off before our move!

  • Special three-hour VIP Event on Saturday, February 25th: 50% off all remaining items!  From 9 am to noon we'll be open only to VIPs with everything in the store on sale at 50% off!  Come early, because at noon sharp we must close to start packing and moving!  We'll have coffee, orange juice, and snacks for humans and dogs.  If you sleep late on Saturday the 25th, you'll miss out on savings that won't be repeated!

Please note that savings are available only for items that are in-stock and discounts are applied to the original prices.  Also, all sales made in February are final. 

Update on Metropawlis Relocation

As noted above, we'll be open to the public on Brady Street until Friday, February 24th.  On Saturday, February 25th we'll be open only from 9 am to noon and only for VIPs with savings of 50% off the original prices of everything in the store.

Our new location will be 317 North Broadway.  Within two blocks are  the new Milwaukee Public Market, the Riverwalk, boutiques and shops such as Lela, Metro Eye, Cranston Accents for Life, Blush, Broadway Paper, Freckle Face, New World Wine, and Private Gardner, and restaurants such as Harlequin Bakery, Coquette Cafe, Milwaukee Ale House, The Wicked Hop and Sauce.  We'll also be just a couple blocks away from the Cat Doctor for those of you who live with a cat  and a half mile from the 5th Ward Central Bark Daycare for you dog companions.  Best of all, there are numerous parking spots, lots, and structures within blocks of our new location! 

Because construction is continuing on our new space in the Third Ward, we're not entirely certain when Metropawlis will re-open, but we hope to have our new doors open for business in the third week of March.  Watch your e-mail, because we'll send you a message once we're open.  We'll have some special re-opening savings and events for VIPs!  (If you haven't already done so, please add our address to your contact list or "safe list" in your e-mail software or Web site--this will help to ensure you will continue to receive our e-mail messages containing news and deals for pet lovers.)

New Valentine items in stock

Don't forget your pet this Valentine's Day! We have many holiday treats from Three Amigos Pet Bakery for dogs both big and small. Three Amigos treats are all natural and a healthy way to pamper your pet.  We also have a selection of heart-themed toys for both cats and dogs.
