PSR Trading acquires Pets & Friends

Family-owned PSR Trading (PSR), owner of award-winning retail chain Just for Pets, has announced the acquisition of Pets & Friends from Kennelpak, the pet specialist wholesaler, brand owner and distributor, for an undisclosed fee.

The acquisition includes Pets & Friends’ 19 stores and 17 grooming salons predominantly across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire as well as its thriving online business and subscription service. Pets & Friends will continue under its existing trading name and will operate alongside Just for Pets, as PSR looks to leverage synergies between the two brands to drive investment and innovation within the independent pet trade sector. All Pets & Friends store and salon colleagues will transfer to PSR ensuring that the expertise that Pets & Friends stands for remains.

“All jobs at Store level will remain in place including Store Managers, Store Teams and Groomers”, Paul Lewis Managing Director, PSR Trading, said.
