Snakes, Birds, and Fish . . . Get Yours At Universal Pets A new pet store opened in Spartanburg this year, and pet enthusiasts had a new place to shop. Universal Pets opened up inside of the Kollege In Sports- wear Shop. Not only was it the largest pet store in the upstate, but it also had the largest variety of fish, birds, and reptiles at the most reasonable prices that have ever been offered. So what, you might be asking. If you recall, in last year’s Medal- lion, we printed an article about a fellow student, Mike Stacey. At the time, he was working his way up through pet stores and he told us that he eventually planned to open up a store of his own. Well, Mike has gotten his break. The pet store mentioned above just happens to be owned and operated by Mike Stacey. Mike is only seventeen years old and still attends Broome as a Se- nior, which is quite unusual when you consider that he owns his very own store. When asked to comment on the business as a whole, Mike .had the following to say; “I got started with the help and experi- ence of my father and a $25,000 loan from my grandparents in Washington State.” As for his future plans, ‘‘I hope to build more stores, start new and dif- ferent businesses, and aquire a CPA degree in college.” Owning and operating your very own business is very de- manding, and Mike admits “he doesn’t have much time for his friends anymore because the business always keeps him on the go.” But according to Mike, “that’s just a sacrifice that has to be made.” We wish Mike the best of luck with Universal Pets and any oth- er business ventures he has. Be sure to catch an ’88 Medallion for a further update on the “King of Pets.’’ (DARIAN DOWIS) OH HECK.
