Controversial Pets at Home store officially opened
A controversial new Pets at Home store in Berwick-upon-Tweed has been officially opened.
Pupils from Scremerston First School were joined by Cllr Isabel Hunter to open the new store.
Mark Adair, store manager, said: “What a fantastic start! Our opening weekend went even better than we had hoped and it was great to welcome Cllr Isabel Hunter and show her the new amenities that we have on offer at the store.
“Our new store features thousands of dedicated pet products for not only local dogs and cats but small animals, fish and local wildlife too. We have also created 12 jobs for the community across a range of full time and part time positions.”
The appearance of the store on the corner of Prince Edward Road and Ord Drive has received widespread public criticism.
Pets at Home say all colleagues at the new store receive extensive training on pet care and pet knowledge which is endorsed by City & Guilds.
