Update 5/3/2025
We found a new home!
We are very happy to announce that Mr. Drew and His Animals Too’s potential new, long term home will Route 26 in Beautiful Poland Maine! We are awaiting to sign the lease and get the keys and as soon as that happens we will update on all our details regarding our labor intensive move.
We found a free standing 10K sq.ft. space that will be perfect for our needs with some potential, limited outside use.
We will be in the Poland Crossing Plaza at 1385 Maine St. Poland, Maine 04274 in the former Family Dollar location.
The Town of Poland has been very gracious with ideas, supportive, helpful and the excitement has been infectious, in this mutual adventure to work as a team to benefit us, the community of Poland and the surrounding areas.
We will now have a separate space for retail with its own separate entrance, there will now be two party spaces available (one private and one semi private), we will be able to set up our kiln and lapidary machine (in the back room) for use on special events, the new marine touch tank will be up and running when we open, a planting/growing area, we will be able to to host outside movie nights, night time astronomy observation and so much more! We are excited to collaborate with the area businesses.
