Pets Set To Move Up In The World

Pets at Home, the UK’s leading pet care retailer, is moving to a £400,000 new home in Rotherham. The store which has been closed since the summer due to flood damage, is moving into a brand new, state of the art store on Parkgate Shopping on Friday 15th February .

The move to the new store will be led by current General Manager, Kim Uttley.

As with all Pets at Home stores, the new Rotherham store will provide customers with a spacious, clean and modern shopping environment offering more than 4,500 ‘pet-tastic’ products all under one roof.  The animal magic that people expect from Pets at Home will still be in abundance – from rabbits to gerbils and stick insects!

The new and improved Pets at Home store in Rotherham will offer an even better animal kingdom, catering for a wide variety of dogs, cats, small animals, birds and fish.  The store will be an Aladdin’s cave of pet supplies including food, bedding, housing, healthcare and accessories.

Kim expects business to be booming at the new store in Rotherham, especially after the success at stores across the UK last year. So far in 2007 Pets at Home sold enough dog leads and collars to stretch from London to Nice. They also sold 2.5million fish, which is equivalent to the population of the United Arab Emirates and a whopping 30million litres of cat litter was sold, which is enough to fill ten pints for every person living in Denmark!

Kim comments:  “We have a very strong customer base here in Rotherham and whilst it’s always a wrench to leave any home, our new store will certainly dazzle customers and pets alike.

The new store provides us with much more space so we’ll be able to offer our customers a greater range of pet products. Whether you are looking for food, toys, clothing, bedding or something a bit quirky, Pets at Home has the most fantastic range and choice. Our expert team will also be on hand to offer the best advice for you and your pet, on any matter – from nutrition to toilet training.”

“We are passionate about animals and that is evident to everyone who visits our new store. People don’t just come to shop; they come to share the Pets at Home experience – and we can’t wait to welcome back our customers and their pets  into their new Pets at Home!”
