The Petland Discounts at 1216 Fulton Street between Nostrand and Bedford in Bedford Stuyvesant opened in November 2000. Gilbert “Gil” James joined the Petland Discounts family in November of 1996 as a full time employee. In 1999 Gil became an Assistant Manager and then in 2001 Gil was promoted to Manager. Gil is very dedicated to his job and it shows in the store. From the moment you walk in the store it’ is always neat and clean and a friendly crew is there to help the customers and to help take care of the store.
When asked why he likes working for the company Gil said “Working for Petland Discounts for over 5 years has been a great learning experience for me. I enjoy feeding and taking care of the pets and making sure they are in perfect health. I believe the thing I love most is coming in and helping the customers. They always appreciate the help they receive from us, their reaction makes it all worth it. Let me tell you a little about my staff. Tesha, Tinesha, Antonio and Tony. They have all been here to help build the store up and I really appreciate the accomplishments and our success; so come in and pay us a visit; we are looking forward to seeing you.”
