Doug Moneer of Lima was in Bluffton on Friday promoting his Super Hero Pooper Scoopers business. The business is an advertiser on The Icon.
Super Hero Pooper Scooper, a pet waste service, is expanding into Bluffton. Moneer, 341 Laney Ave., Lima, is offering the service.
"The benefits from my service is that it saves busy pet owners' time and the hassle of cleaning up their pet's dirty business and it keeps yards maintained from pet waste."
Moneer is now scheduling appointments in the Bluffton and surrounding areas.
