In 2004, Anthony Preston, founder of Pets at Home, looked to earn about 143 million pounds in cash and share as he sold the pet supply chain to Bridgepoint and then reinvested a portion of the proceeds. Preston began his trading activities in the early 1990s from one store in Chester and since then he grew the business to such proportions that there were 155 superstores located across the UK by the time he sold.
Today Pets at Home is owned and operated by Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co., (KKR) who obtained it in January 2010 after a fierce bidding war that included a total of 36 heavy-hitters who all wanted to own the highly successful retail store.
Pets at Home is the ultimate pet store chain that really is a paradise for pets and pet owners alike. This superstore has all of the pet supplies, pet food, toys and accessories you and your pet needs at great value prices. All of the colleagues working in the store are fully trained in pet care and are dedicated to the welfare of animals with most of them owning pets themselves.
