East Lawrence to host national dog treat venture
Lawrence businessman Gary Rexroad and his wife Angie bought the vacant 1045 Pennsylvania St building to house a new dog treat line after acquiring Lucky Paws recipes from Raven Rajani. Love Grub already distributes dog food regionally, but treats offer lighter shipping. The plan targets nationwide retailers and online sales to grow the business.
