A Coventry pet shop is under new ownership after being acquired by pet food, toys and accessories retailer Jollyes.

Bannerbrook Pets, in Gramercy Park on Banner Lane, was established by entrepreneurs Steve Teasdale and Andy Gattner in 2004 as an independent pet shop.

Over the years it has built up a loyal following in Coventry which the business says is down to its customer service and selection of hard-to-find premium brands.

Now the store has been acquired by Kester Capital-backed Jollyes for an undisclosed sum.

The acquisition brings together two businesses dedicated to high quality and personal service for owners and their pets.

The agreement to purchase Bannerbrook Pets is the latest move by Jollyes to accelerate its growth plans.  It follows the acquisition in October of The Pet Store and its three locations in Yorkshire.
