Open a Wild Bird Center® Meet Our Owners
Long-time customers of the Akron, Ohio Wild Bird Center, Bob & Carol knew they had found what they wanted to do. Coming from years of retail experience in the camera business, Bob & Carol started their store in February 2007 in Hudson, Ohio. They have been growing their business successfully ever since. They say:
“When the opportunity arose to open our own store, we decided to combine our love of birds with a business in order to provide the best quality product to enhance enjoyment of the bird feeding hobby for our community. Support from Home Office has been greatly appreciated and they help us with any issues that arise and are readily available to help us grow our business, from marketing to the “nuts and bolts”. Ultimately, one of the best parts of owning our store is that we have great customers who share our passion for feeding and watching our beautiful wild birds!”
