Today, Francis is tightening inventory, though with a focus on keeping fast-moving products such as pet food in plentiful supply. He's cutting back on items such as aquariums and dog collars -- non-edible products that don't move off the shelves as quickly as food. Uh, the margins on food are very low, collars are marked up over 100% and don't have a shelf life. PETM would do themselves a favor hiring more executives with pet experience instead of general retail experience. Visiting my local store enforces this opinion.
