Harrods is to close its pet department – Pet Kingdom – with the store saying the decision has been based on ‘commercial factors only’.
The department, called Pet Kingdom, which is located on the fourth floor, will become extra space for women’s wear, said a Harrods spokesperson.
"Employees have been informed and Harrods is working with them to find alternative positions in the store where possible. The Mungo & Maud concession in Pet Kingdom will be relocated to the second floor as part of the store’s lifestyle department.
"Harrods will, of course, endeavour to continue to help any customer wishing to purchase a pet through our ‘by appointment’ service.”
