Congratulations to Cost Cutters and McDonalds

The Town of Bennett honored several local businesses for their longstanding commitment to the Bennett Community at the annual Business Appreciation Event on November 2, 2023.

This year, the Town recognized Cost Cutters and McDonalds. Cost Cutters has been open in Bennett for 15 years and McDonalds opened in September 2011.

Watch a short video on these Bennett Businesses here. These businesses are committed to providing our residents with only the highest quality of service and the Business Appreciation event is an opportunity for the Town of Bennett to say ‘Thank You’ to the local businesses for all they have done in the community.

Mayor, Royce Pindell, said “I’m proud to be part of a Town with such a strong business community. It's important for us to take a moment to recognize the businesses that make our community thrive, providing us with goods, services and job opportunities. These businesses are the backbone of our town.”

The Town of Bennett aims to be a constant source of support for all local businesses. Business resources and more information on services offered can be found here.

Please License Your Pets

Do your pet a favor and license them today!

Did you know?

One out of every three pets will get lost at some point during their lifetime.
Even the most responsible pet owners are sometimes separated from their pets by accident.
Without proper pet identification, nearly 90% of lost pets will never be reunited with their owners.
Pet identification drastically increases the likelihood that you will be reunited with your pet if they become lost.
Many lost pets without identification are eventually euthanized.
It's the law. Pets over the age of six months are required to be licensed in the Town of Bennett.
A license serves as proof that your pet has been vaccinated against rabies and is therefore not a health risk to the community.
By licensing your pet, you establish ownership of your pet.

To license your pet, visit our website.

**Senior Citizens and Military receive a 50% discount on the license fees of spayed and neutered animals.**
