News: Pets at Home planning Cortonwood store

By

Pet supplies retailer, Pets at Home is planning another Rotherham outlet with a 7,500 sq ft store at Cortonwood Retail Park.

Plans have been submitted for new signage at unit 3, part of the retail park's fourth phase of development.

The park is home to a number of national retailers including Morrisons, B&Q, Next, Matalan Asda Living, Halfords and SCS all of whom report their outlets at the park amongst their top trading stores.

Since the regeneration of the former Cortonwood Colliery site St Pauls Developments has developed over 2.6m sq ft of commercial space, 500,000 sq ft of retail stores and reclaimed and sold in excess of 100 acres of residential land across South Yorkshire.

New outlets for Dreams and Smyths Toys opened in the latest phase, constructed by Sheffield's JF Finnegan. However, the Dreams store was not acquired in the deal to buy the bed retailer out of administration in March.

Pets at Home is the UK's leading specialist retailer of pet food, pet-related products and accessories; it also sells fish and small animals. The business was established in 1991 and operates from over 345 stores and was the subject of a KKR backed buyout in 2010. For the year to 29 March 2012, the company enjoyed sales of £544.3m and EBITDA (earnings) of £91.7m.

Pets at Home already operates a store at Parkgate Shopping and planning permission was secured earlier this year to enable the company to take two empty units at Canklow Meadows.

Plans for a significant expansion to Cortonwood Retail Park were refused by the council's planning board earlier this year.
