McKay Mann, sponsored by Maxjield's store. "We are a local Purina Mills dealer which gives us access to just about every type of feed anyone in Utah County would need for their animuls," Maxfield said. "However, the important thing to me is my persrmal relationships with my customers and their animal. We keep track of your feed use, needs and animals including their health and I think that makes this entire project personal and a strong value to our customers." dise, she said. Hwau.se the feed store is one of the lew of its kind along the Wasatch Front, its products are in demand. But, the mercantile's quality products aren't the only thing thai make the store distinctive. dis-tinctive. "It's the products, but more than that it's the people," Mikesell Mike-sell said "They're down-to-earth I hey 're animal people, find it's just nice to share the same interests." The good relations go Jxrth ways. Kathy Linford, a customer who manages a horse barn in Findon, chats with Mikesell whom she has known for years, while buying grain. "It's not just a work attitude," Linford said. "Employees are caring and wanting to help and fill their customer's needs." Maxfield and his wife decided to open a local Purina store after af-ter talking with Mikesell, who is a long-time friend. She had been working at a similar store near Woodscross. Maxf ield grew up on a dairy farm and has owned horses all of his life. "I've always kind of had a passion for agriculture and animals," ani-mals," he said. His wife Pattie, the stores co-owner co-owner said it's just in his blood. It took the Maxfield's two years to commit and buy the real estate and then remodel it. The store opened April 11 of this year, with a grand opening last Saturday. Maxfield designed the mercantile mer-cantile with females in mind, since Purina's national studies show that 70 percent of all consumers are females, he said. The store is organized, clean, open and well lit. "It has a barny, warm, homey hom-ey feel," he said. "We want the ladies to come in and feel comfortable com-fortable with it." m if . il': Steve Holley dent, has passed the Certified Financial Planner exam.
