🐾 Paws and Reflect: petplace Summer Recap
As Autumn draws near, we want to take time to reflect on what has been our busiest Summer ever!
PRIDE 🏳️🌈
We kicked off Summer with Pride in the Park Abergele. Hosting a bouncy castle, burger van, ice cream truck and our doggy ice cream bike, there was plenty to do!
We even made our usually members only/pay per play dog park FREE for everyone to enjoy! 🐶🎾
Read what our Managing Director, Sion had to say about our Abergele event
We then took our ice cream bike, ‘portable’ dog park and lots of goodies to the North Wales Pride parade in Llangefni! It was fantastic to be a part of the Pride celebrations in North Wales and for petplace to be represented as a local, inclusive company.
Nic, petplace Llangefni dog park manager:
“Pride is very important to me on a personal level. I thoroughly enjoy my job, my community of customers and their humans are just amazing! Working for a company that celebrates diversity is wonderful. I am immensely proud of the safe, inclusive, friendly space we have created in Llangefni.”
After a successful Pride in the Park in Abergele, our Llangefni customers asked for the same event for them, so how could we say no?!
On a sunny August Sunday, we held Pride in the Park in Llangefni and it was a fun filled, busy, jam-packed event!
Flour & Flame dished up delicious fresh flame grilled pizzas, Super Swirls Ice Cream treated our customers to some sweet treats, a local face painter had the kids queuing and a bouncy castle kept them entertained! For the dogs we had free doggy ice cream, the dog park was free to all and there was lots of freebies including frisbees, tennis balls and pride bandanas!
Chris, petplace Llangefni store manager:
“Our latest event Pride in the park was the biggest success yet! It was so nice to see the local community, customers new and old coming together with the team. The buzz in the air was electric and I’ve never felt so happy and proud!“
FARM & PET PLACE 💚
Our Mold store had a refresh which includes a new layout with a much brighter and fresher feel.
Matt, Business Development Manager:
“It was a great to work alongside the team to make the store refit a success. The plan was to improve the flow and feel of the store and I really believe that the team has achieved this.
As a company we’re always looking for ways to improve the stores to help create a shopping experience that is enjoyable for all our customers.
I’d also like to thank the wider team for supporting the project, from marketing, stock team and also the web team for helping with logistics. I’m looking forward to seeing what the the team can achieve in the coming months.”
To celebrate their refresh, Mold held their Open Day in August. With a bouncy castle, vintage hand made wooden games, live animals, falconry, ice cream truck and our doggy play park, it was the perfect family day out!
Gledrid held their Dog Weekend to celebrate all things dog! With raffles, discounts, free dog wash and a dog photographer, the day was a huge success.
Steve, Gledrid Store Manager:
“Our Doggy weekend was hugely successful and our pet photographer was on hand to capture every dogs enjoyable moment with us. This year we have seen so many beautiful pets in our stores and it’s always a pleasure to see them all. We have also had great products this Summer with more new things arriving every week.
Working at Farm and Pet place is not just a job, thank you to all of our amazing staff and customers for making work so enjoyable!“
ON THE ROAD 🚙
Abergele Assistant Manager Jodie and Dog Park Manager Amie attended Pentre Mawr Fun Day where they handed out freebies, offered advice & guidance, met lots of new dog park members and even judged the charity fun dog show!
We also sponsored Denbigh & Flint Show, enjoyed their charity dog show, met lots of local vendors, watched showjumping and sampled a lot of delicious cheese!
Belinda, Ruthin Store Manager:
“We love being out and about meeting people at the local shows and talking about what we have to offer at Farm & Pet Place, Ruthin including the arrival of our new dog tag machine! We are the only place locally that can do ID tags while you wait!”
SUMMER 2024 ☀️
Jodie, Design & Marketing Manager
It has been a jam packed Summer full of fun, pets and luckily a little chaos is good for the soul! 😂
As a company, we enjoy bringing our teams together to spread the word about the services and products we offer and we genuinely enjoy spending time with each other having the best time at our events!
We understand it is vital to play a part in our local communities and will continue to provide raffle prizes, share local events on socials, sponsor events and even sponsor a football team! We love working with local charities and shining a light on all the fantastic work they do too.
We will continue to celebrate, petplace style and we hope to see you at an event soon! 🎉
