Hilton Smythe are delighted to present to the market, a truly fantastic example of a ‘Turnkey’ business opportunity set within an idyllic village community.

Ziggy’s Pet Supplies was established by our clients over 4 years ago and now wish to sell the business to take a well-earned retirement.

Since opening, this successful pet supply business has seen year on year growth to the highly profitable business it is today, specialising in the supply of raw food which dominates its popularity and high sales levels.

Our clients work alongside their knowledgeable team. all who share a passion for pet care. The focus within this business is all nutrition led and the well-being of pets. It is this personal service which makes this business a much loved and popular store within the community.

The store is immaculately presented and well stocked catering for all small animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, rats, guinea pigs, birds and fish. With an excellent range of pet accessories such as beds, leads, bowls, toys, healthcare products and more importantly good sound pet care advice.

In addition, our client is a trained Vet and uses the specially designed treatment room to the rear of the store on a part time basis. However, the team in situ which includes a fully trained Manager, can run the business very successfully without any input from our client’s time.

We suggest adding a dog grooming service in the areas currently located behind the shop would best suit the demands of the loyal customers who visit the business. Adding an online ordering option through the website could also potentially add a further 40% to the current turnover, resulting in an attainable yearly sales level in excess of half a million pounds.

Adding a local delivery service would also help those customers who struggle to reach the shop especially in poor weather.

Currently the business enjoys a 4.9/5 customer review score on Facebook.

A full handover will be offered, and we strongly advise early viewing to avoid any disappointment.


DISCRETE SALE, SO CONTACT THE AGENT DIRECTLY TO ARRANGE VIEWING.  DO NOT APPRAOCH THE VENDOR DIRECTLY!

The business is managed by our clients, with the assistance of both full time and part time staff.

Monday to Saturday 9.00am-5.30 pm
Sunday - closed
