Established back in 1998 and being offered on the market for the very first time, this outstanding pet store is highly regarded and is only being sold because the owners now wish to retire. This is probably the most comprehensively equipped and stocked pet store in the north of England and its success is largely due to its extensive stock of everything animal, bird, fish and reptile related.

Detailed Profit and Loss Accounts for the business show very steady year on year annual sales. Full accounts will be made available to seriously interested parties following a formal viewing of the business and premises. The business has an eBay shop, as well as via its own website.

Former canine hydrotherapy room which has recently been converted in to a workshop and storage area. Kennel blocks providing 53 good quality dog kennels, four isolation kennels and an additional grooming room within the kennels.
