A NEW pet shop has opened its doors for the first time in the city centre. 

Clearway Pets is situated in Cross Keys Shopping Centre, and occupies the space previously used by A-Plan Insurance. 

The shop is run by Mike and Emily Adamson, 26 and 22, who are both from Salisbury and have worked in pet shops in the past.

The main delay for Mike and Emily has been sourcing stock, with issues around coronavirus and importing goods due to Brexit, but the store is now up and running and has been open to customers since Saturday (February 6). 

Salisbury Journal:

Mike and Emily have spent the last few weeks putting the interior of the shop together themselves, with Mike putting things like the shelving together himself, working long hours to get ready - in at 7.30am and out at 11.30pm. 

With all that behind them, Mike said the two of them are "really happy" to finally be open, and are looking forward to meeting new people over the coming weeks and months (following all government guidance, of course). 

They are optimistic about the shop's future and positive about things going forward, once the word is out that they have opened.

Clearway Pets is open Monday to Saturday, 9am to 5pm.
