Inside Pets at Home’s new superstore in Manchester

 

Pets at Home has opened its new Pet Care Centre at Manchester Fort shopping centre. Spanning an impressive 10,500 sq ft, the new superstore is designed to meet every need of pet owners and their animals. 

 

The retail group has invested over £928k into the centre, ensuring top-tier facilities and an enhanced shopping experience. As part of its commitment to the community, the store has hired locally, creating seven new job opportunities.

 

This new Pet Care 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 Hub 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. The Hub will also feature increased fridge and freezer space, a pick-and-mix treat bar stocked with natural products, and a designated consultation area for help and advice across all life stages from puppy and kitten to senior.
  • 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 highly trained pet care advisors who are on hand every day to support with free advice, including flea and worm subscriptions, free weight checks and pet food consultations, as well as fitting services for dog coats and harnesses.
  • A small animal pet village to inspire the next generation of pet owners and encourage face to face conversations on responsible pet ownership. The pet village, located in the centre will show off our small animals while the aquatics area will sit to the rear.

Coming this Summer, the Pet Care Centre will also open a purpose-built in-store Vets for Pets veterinary practice on the mezzanine floor, ensuring your pet receives high quality veterinary care. 

 

Store Manager, Stacey Revilles said: “We’re incredibly excited to open the Pet Care Centre right here at Manchester Fort Shopping Park. This isn’t just a store – it’s a haven for pet lovers and their furry friends. 

 

“With a range of top-tier services, and a shopping experience like no other, we’ve created a space that truly celebrates the joy of pet ownership. We can’t wait to welcome customers to explore, connect, and see how we’re raising the bar for pet care. 

 

“Whether you’re here for your dog’s next adventure, your cat’s favourite treat, or expert advice for your small animals, we’ve got everything you need to keep tails wagging, whiskers twitching and hearts full!”

 

The new Pets at Home Pet Care Centre is open seven days a week.
