Leaps & Bones has more than doubled its South Windsor floor space for specialty pet food and accessories at The Promenade Shops at Evergreen Walk.
The shop reopened Jan. 21 in 1,200 square feet in Suite 81, near L.L. Bean, after relocating from its previous 650-square-foot space in the same open-air shopping center since opening in November 2008.
“The expansion will allow us to bring our bakery on-site making it easier for us to provide the freshest hand-made treats to our customers,” owner/President Amy Kenkel said.
Fresh-baked specialties include baked pet treats, cakes, smoothies and meatballs and dog foods, along with pet toys and chews, harnesses and apparel.
