A LEADING pet retailer with a base in Chirk has opened a new headquarters following a pandemic sales boom.
PetPlace – which also has stores in Abergele, Ruthin, Mold and Llangefni– has joined Tir Llwyd Enterprise Park in Kinmel Bay.
The company, which recently celebrated its 50th anniversary, will be based out of a 10,000sq feet office and warehouse facility.
Managing director Sion Pritchard insisted the new headquarters are necessary after the retailer has grown since the onset of the pandemic.
He added: “We quickly adapted to the challenges, transforming our stores into Covid-safe environments - installing Record FlowControl, a revolutionary automated system – introducing other safety measures and ramping-up the click and collect service to meet a 600 per cent rise in demand.
“The new loyalty app has also been a major success and as a result of this cumulative impact we decided the time was right for us to find a new headquarters and move to the next level.”
“Tir Llwyd in Kinmel Bay is the perfect place for us; central and easily accessible, we are delighted to join the community of long-established and successful organisations already based here.
“It is also less than a stone’s throw from the distribution hub that handles PetPlace’s online orders, so it’s a win-win situation for us.”

The app is available on platforms including Google Play and The App Store.
