The decline in high street shopping has been blamed on the closing down of an independent bricks-and-mortar pet store.

The owner of Love for Pets in Norwich said the store had become increasingly unsustainable to run and will close the doors on the Magdalen Street shop tomorrow (Friday).

David Lee hopes to continue his business, which started eight years ago, with a home delivery service. The first shop was based in Sprowston before the shop moved to Magdalen Street in 2019. 

David told Norwich Evening News: 'I am sad and sorry to say that the shop will be closing due to the continued decline of high street shopping.” 

The shop offered 50% off sale on products ahead of the shop closure.
