Pet store customers are growing older, according to Pet Supply Marketing magazine in Duluth, Minn. This reflects not only a national aging trend but also an increased interest in pets among adults, said David Kowalski, the magazine’s editor. The trend is noticeable among buyers of tropical fish, he said. “We’re seeing the elevation of the aquarium hobby to something that’s going beyond a kid’s pastime.”
