A leading pet superstore has won the 2022 Business Growth Award at the New Forest Brilliance Awards.
Healthy Pet Store based in Hampshire was awarded the Business Growth accolade for its incredible sales growth since launching in 2014. The pet store was recognised for its expansion, just two years after moving into its current and newly refurbished store in Totton.
During 2021, the growing pet store reached its £1 million revenue target and has become one of the county’s leading independent pet retailers of frozen meals for dogs and cats and unique accessories.
To support the growth of the business Healthy Pet Store expanded its team, including appointing a new Operations Manager to oversee fundamental departments of the business such as purchasing, logistics and warehousing.
Managing Director Deborah Burrows said: “Winning this award is a huge milestone for Healthy Pet Store. Since 2014, our vision has been to be the most approachable and most knowledgeable pet food and accessories retailer. We are very excited to continue building this vision.
“2023 is going to be a really exciting year for us and I can’t wait to grow our brand, the team and our variety of products. I would like to extend my congratulations to the other finalists. We are all operating in an incredibly challenging environment and this is something all businesses should recognise and be hugely proud of.
“I am very excited for Healthy Pet Store to continue on this rollercoaster of a journey.”
Sponsor of the Business Growth category Phill Morgan from GetSet Solent presented the team with its award.
Healthy Pet Store is the biggest of its kind in the country by square footage and is recognised as the home of waggy tails across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
