Petland Discounts at 3133 Kennedy Blvd in the Columbia Park Shopping Center in North Bergen (Union City), New Jersey opened in December 1999. Ismael Abrue joined the Petland Family in 1994 as a full-time employee and quickly moved up in the company becoming a Store Manager. When asked why he enjoys working for the company Ismeal says: ”Wow! I can’t believe it’s been 9 years since I became a member of the Petland Discounts team. My name is Ismeal and I am the manager at the Petland Discounts in Union City, NJ. It has been a privilege for me and my staff to be awarded store of the month. Hard work does pay off!!!! I want to thank God first for making me the person I am today and secondly, Neil Padron, the President of this company for making my dreams come true. This is what family is all about! Working for this company has really made me what I am today and greatest satisfaction is when customers come back and tell us how great our staff is and how well they’ve been taken care of. I don’t think that words can describe the way I feel about working for this company; but let me tell you that I will be here until I retire. Helping people with there pets is my profession. Thanks to all the wonderful people at the Main Office and Livestock Division; they know how to keep it together. Thank-you to my staff and from all of us at Union City: Thank-you Neil for Everything.” Congratulations Ismeal and the whole team at Union City for a very well deserved honor!!! Close This Window
