It’s Official! Exotic Animal Daycare
APRIL 1, 2023
Lions, tigers, and bears - oh my! IT'S OFFICIAL! Our JAX Refrigeration office space has been sold to a new franchise coming to Jacksonville Beach! The old headquarters for JAX will now house large exotic animals in the large building and a 24 hour daycare in the adjacent small building. This will be the first of its kind with an intention to expand Nationwide. the purchasing investment group is still working on an official name for the franchise, but some initial ideas include: Around the Croc Daycare Animal House Daycare Party Animals Exotic Animal Daycare Dr. Doolittle's Day Care Animal McKidface Renowned zookeeper, Dr Heywood Jamissme, who came up with the concept stated "Our mission is to create a safe domain for zoo animals while introducing children to them at a young age. Just like a virus, the best way to teach them the dangers are by getting bitten or scratched." Owner of JAX, Mark Lowery, is excited about the idea of having animals in a new habitat, the beach. "Now, JAX Beach will be among the first beach towns to have kids ride or walk a rhino or giraffe on the beach."
Each office will contain a lion, tiger, giraffe or rhino. There might even be others to call Jax Beach home! Lowery also said "I support the humane treatment of animals. Zoos are no place for these large animals. It is time to get these animals out of the zoo and create better living conditions. We want to give them a nice home!" We understand that children's natural interests and activities can foster creativity and knowledge.
The students will also be visited by these large animals in class. "Think of a drawing class right next to a lion or a biology class where you can count the number of teeth on a tiger. Better yet, we can see the circle of life in person daily" - said Dr Jamissme. Thank you to JAX Refrigeration Owner, Mark Lowery, for believing in this unique idea. His space and his time to make our dreams a reality Note - neither Jacksonville mayoral candidate was available for comment.
