An independent pet shop in Oxfordshire has been put up for sale with the owners retiring after 45 years of 'successful' trading.

 

Paws Pet Supplies & Fishing Bait, located in a busy shopping parade in Banbury, is described as 'long established'.

 

A listing online said the asking leasehold price for the shop, including fixtures and furnishings, is £50,000, with the business having a turnover of £190,000 per year.

 

The sales marketing states: “An exciting opportunity to acquire a successful, long-established and much-loved pet supplies and fishing tackle and supplies business with a 45-year trading history.  Over the years, we have built a strong and loyal customer base that have been incredibly supportive and key to the success and growth of the business. 

 

“Paws Pet Supplies specialises in top quality products, even offering their own range of popular wild bird seed mixes, mixed in-store to ensure only the finest brands are used. We have an extensive selection of dog, cat and small animal products and more recently, introduced fishing bait and tackle. The business stocks named brands of fishing accessories  as well as our own bags of bait, which are very well priced. These have proven to be hugely popular and we already have a very loyal following.”
