Business Spotlight Susanna and Justin were inspired by her knowledge of pet nutrition. After the Furlones married in 2005, they opened a kiosk-style pet boutique and a raw-food delivery business. When the economy took a downturn in 2007, they moved to Carmel to work at Susanna’s parents’ flower shop, Highway 68 Flowers. Customers at the flower shop, knowing that Susanna and Justin were “animal people,” would often ask Susanna or Justin for advice about nutrition for their pets. The residents of the Highway 68 corridor encouraged them to carry a small selection of pet food at the flower shop. The pet food idea took off and Susanna and Justin expanded their inventory several times to meet demand. By the summer of 2011 The Wishbone Deli (formerly known as Highway 68 Pets) they had undertaken a full remodel and expansion and renamed Susanna and Justin Furlone the shop The Wishbone Deli. 2 Corral De Tierra Rd, Salinas (831) 269-3088 www.highway68pets.com Susanna and Justin are also both volunteers for Salinas Animal Services, Peace of Mind Dog Rescue, and Animal Friends Rescue Susanna and Justin met while working at a large-chain pet supply Project.
