JASPER, Ga., Nov. 13, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Hensley Plaza is pleased to announce Mountain Hounds as its newest tenant at 30 Wall Street, welcoming an established, family-owned North Georgia pet supplies business to the heart of downtown Jasper. The shop will celebrate its official grand opening on Saturday, December 12, just in time for the holiday shopping season.
Serving the North Georgia mountains for over a decade, Mountain Hounds has an existing location in Ellijay and built its reputation on providing the finest quality pet foods, treats, durable gear, and everyday essentials, backed by a genuine commitment to pets and the people who love them. At its new Jasper location, customers can expect friendly, knowledgeable staff who are pet parents themselves and take pride in helping families find the right products for their four-legged companions.
Plans for the new location also include a deluxe self-service dog wash, adding another convenient service for Jasper's pet-loving community.
For Hensley Plaza, the addition represents a major step toward its vision of creating a destination where local, small businesses and community life come together.
"We are incredibly excited about helping Ron and Jennifer expand their retail operations in the heart of downtown Jasper." Dave Terry, the owner and local developer behind the project said:
"Ron and Jennifer embody the entrepreneurial spirit and type of tenant we want to help set-up for long-term success. They are a family owned, small business that will create 4-6 jobs for the area, be open 7 days a week and help bring new foot traffic and customers to downtown Jasper. We share their idea to create a family and pet friendly destination that is fun and community-focused."
A Family-Owned Business with a Heart for Pets and People
Behind Mountain Hounds are Jennifer and Ron Williams, a husband-and-wife team with extensive experience in retail, business management, and community engagement. Jennifer will be on-site, while Ron has been working in development behind the scenes. Jennifer brings a background in nursing, pet retail management, and a lifelong passion for animal wellness.
Together, the Williamses have built a business around a simple belief: pets are family, and the people who care for them deserve quality products, trustworthy advice, and a welcoming place to shop.
Their approach goes beyond simply selling pet supplies. By combining carefully selected products with knowledgeable, personal service, Mountain Hounds aims to help pet owners make confident decisions about their animals' nutrition, health, and everyday needs.
"What drew us to Hensley Plaza and Dave was the opportunity to become part of the downtown Jasper community," said Jennifer Williams. "Hensley Plaza had everything we were looking for in a new place to call home. Dave emphasized that he values a partnership-based approach and how much he believed in the Jasper community and people."
Dave added that "Ron and Jennifer have an inspiring story. Our purpose has always been about trying to serve and invest in the community. When small businesses thrive, downtowns thrive. Amy and Chris Leake (owners of The Wall Street Barber) and the WSB team have set a high standard as the first tenant at Hensley Plaza and we are confident Mountain Hounds will continue that tradition."
Hensley Plaza now has a mural to help preserve the area's history, improved walkability, bike racks, lots of trees/landscaping, outdoor seating, hosted numerous local events, and maintained all the building's key character features. "I genuinely hope that we can play a small part in supporting entrepreneurs like Ron and Jennifer, strengthen the Pickens County community and help create memorable destinations."
An Early Christmas Present for Jasper's Four-Legged Family Members
With its December 12th grand opening arriving just ahead of Christmas, Mountain Hounds will give Jasper shoppers a new downtown destination for quality pet supplies, holiday treats, toys, and gifts for their four-legged family members.
Whether picking out a special treat, finding a durable new toy, or stocking up on everyday essentials, customers will have another opportunity to shop locally while discovering a business dedicated to pets and the people who love them.
Additional details about the December 12th grand opening celebration, a ribbon cutting and official store hours will be announced soon.
