Kate Lindburg - Membership Committee
Chair
Animal
Crackers Pet Supply
ktlindburg@aol.com
After earning my Master’s in Microbiology and then working
in the Biochemistry Department at OSU, I left science and entered
the business world in 1992. By 1994 I wanted to start my own
venture and, being a life-long pet owner, I looked to the pet
industry. My market research confirmed that Corvallis could support
a specialty pet supply store so I took a few SBA classes, wrote
a business plan, scraped together every dollar my husband and
I had and opened Animal Crackers in December of that year. The
store has grown steadily over the past 11 years despite the opening
of the PetCo. The success of Animal Crackers Pet Supply is proof
of the importance of small businesses to the quality of life
in Corvallis.
