THE latest concession to open at a Bradford garden centre is an established family pet and animal supplies business.

The Blue Barn opened its first site outside its Pool-in-Wharfedale headquarters at Tong Garden Centre on 26th September.

The 1500 sq ft concession stocks a wide range of pet supplies and animal feed covering everything from small animals and poultry to horses.

The Blue Barn concession will be managed by experienced retailer Daisy Woodrow who worked for Pets at Home before joining The Blue Barn. She said: "The Blue Barn at Tong will sell the UK's leading dog and cat food brands and The Blue Barn's own award-winning ranges of ambient and frozen dog and cat foods and natural treats.

"We're really looking forward to getting to know the pet owners who visit Tong Garden Centre. We provide advice on all aspects of animal care, from fitting harnesses to help selecting the right feed for your dog, cat, horse, small animal or farm animal. We are pet and animal lovers ourselves and understand the importance of getting it right."

Tong Garden Centre Manager Paul Adams said: "The Blue Barn is an established specialist independent pet business with staff trained to help and advise customers on a wide range of pet and animal matters from nutrition and feed to behavioural issues."

The Blue Barn is a family owned business that was established in a large blue barn in Pool in Wharfedale in 1984. It offers daily deliveries to its customers across Yorkshire.

Tong Garden Centre is a member of the Yorkshire Garden Centres family that includes Tingley, Otley and Bingley Garden Centres and Dean's York and Scarborough.
