✨ GRAND OPENING MAGIC ✨
Today was a milestone we will never forget. We officially celebrated the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Dogtopia of Norfolk-Ghent and EarthWise Pet Norfolk — complete with an orange ribbon for Dogtopia and a green ribbon for EarthWise.
We were truly honored to welcome Mayor Kenneth Alexander, Councilman Jeremy McGee, and Councilwoman Courtney Doyle as they joined our family, our pet parents, and our amazing team for this special moment. Their support meant the world to us.
This journey has been years in the making, and bringing two businesses to life in our hometown has been such a gift. From our family to yours —
Chip Sutelan, Barbara Sutelan, Mary Pyle, Donovan Martini, and me, Rachel Sutelan — thank you.
Thank you to every pet parent who showed up, every staff member who poured their heart into today, and everyone who has believed in us from the beginning. Norfolk is home, and opening our doors here is a dream come true.
Here’s to an amazing start, countless happy dogs, and many years of serving our community. 🧡💚
