Pets at Home to open brand-new Petcare Centre at Gateshead Team Valley
Get ready, Gateshead pet lovers! Pets at Home is beyond excited to announce the grand opening of its brand-new petcare centre at Gateshead Team Valley Retail World on Friday, 15th August.
This isn’t just any pet store; it’s a one-stop paradise for pets and their people. Spanning over 6500 sq ft, the new superstore is designed to meet every need of your furry, purry, or scaly companions. Pets at Home has invested over £800,000 into the new petcare centre, ensuring top-tier facilities and an enhanced shopping experience for pet owners. Plus, as part of its commitment to the community, the store will hire locally, creating fantastic new job opportunities right in the heart of Gateshead.
This new petcare centre boasts a host of features and innovative spaces tailored to meet the evolving needs of pets and their families, such as:
-
A dedicated nutrition area with an increased range of fresh, frozen, including Butternut Box and raw food options to reflect the diverse feeding choices adopted by pet owners today. Plus, if any pet owners are unsure of the best choice of food for their fur-babies, our in-store Pets Experts offer free nutrition consultations and free weight checks.
-
An expanded Health Centre making it easier for customers to manage their pets' everyday healthcare needs, including licensed medications such as flea, tick and worm treatment and easy access to free pet weighing scales.
-
A team of Pet Experts who are on hand every day to support with free advice, including flea and worm subscriptions, as well as fitting services for dog coats and harnesses.
-
A small animal pet village and aquatics area to inspire the next generation of pet owners and encourage face-to-face conversations on responsible pet ownership, located at the rear of the store.
The grand opening of the petcare centre will kick off in style with Store Manager, Paula Hull, leading a ribbon-cutting ceremony and launch event on Friday, 15th August at 9am. Customers can expect a fun-filled day packed with exciting activities. Including learning how to care for all types of small furry animals at the free My Pet Pals workshops, which take place all day throughout Friday 15th, Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th August.
There will also be an in-store face painter on Friday and Saturday, as well as delicious cupcakes and ‘pup’cakes, plus customers will take home a goody bag filled to the brim with treats for their fur-babies, throughout the weekend.
On top of that, hidden within the store will be five ‘Golden Bones’ where the lucky paw-ticipants who find these, will each receive a £50 Pets at Home gift voucher.
