COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT

Mounds is renowned for its active engagement in the community, collaborating with local humane societies, service animal groups, rescue organizations, and police K9 units. In addition to charitable contributions, we encourage local non-profit animal groups to sign up for in-store events to inform the public about adoption options and how to get involved locally.

PET ADOPTION

Mounds is dedicated to addressing the issue of pet overpopulation. To contribute to this cause, we have an established in-store Satellite Adoption Center at our Janesville location, operated in collaboration with a local rescue group. Join us in our commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of homeless pets in our community.

OUR HISTORY

1963

Mounds Agri Service

Ken Mack, a 1963 University of Wisconsin graduate, began his professional career as a District General Manager for the Ralston Purina Company. It was during his ten-year tenure with Ralston Purina that Ken founded Mounds Agri Service, a livestock company, in Blue Mounds, Wisconsin.

1976

Quick Expansion

By 1974 Mounds Agri Service expanded so quickly that Ken left Purina to focus on his own company. He moved the business to an old warehouse he rented in downtown Middleton. By 1976, Mounds Agri Service had outgrown the old warehouse, so Ken purchased a vacant lot on Highway 14 and began a steady program of building the mill facilities that exist today as Randan Agri Service.

1984

Private Label Pet Food

Mounds Agri Service was a farm store, built to accommodate farm customers. Its primary business was the manufacture of farm feeds and fertilizers, with some pet food offerings.

However, by 1984 the farm store was devoted entirely to pet food and supplies. Ken began selling private-label products: Dog Power, Purrfect Cat, Horse Power, and the various wild bird seeds. These products helped the company stay competitive and profitable when larger national chain pet supply stores came to the Madison area.

Madison Store, Stoughton Rd.

First Mounds Pet Food Warehouse

1993

In 1991 Ken located another pet food and supplies store on South Stoughton Road on Madison’s east side. This store was so successful that in 1993 a 15,000 square foot Mounds Pet Food Warehouse was built at its present location on Stoughton Road.

2015

100% Employee Owned

Mary Jansma passed away on January 9, 2014. Committed to keeping Mounds privately held and locally owned, Tim Walton sold 100% of Mounds to its employees in January of 2015.

Mounds Today

Now a five-store operation, Mounds is known for its community involvement. Mounds hosts several pet-related events each year and supports area humane societies, police K-9 units, dog clubs, and service animal groups.

Mounds is committed to customers, their pets, and the community at large. Mounds employees receive extensive customer service and product knowledge training programs which allow Mounds to offer a level of customer service that creates loyal, satisfied clients who continue to return to Mounds.
