New Store Opens In Carlisle
The America's Country Store is a new concept in retailing to supply the
horse and pel owner with their needs. The concept is based on Purina Mills'
market research that shows an on-going population shift from traditional
urban and suburban markets to increasingly developing geography at the
fringes of these areas. People desiring a more country lifestyle make up
this new customer segment. The photos show the front of of Knisely's new
store at the grand opening and Steve Knlsely, owner, and Paul Hann, Puri
na s retail development manager.
