Pets Corner, a retailer operating 150 locations in England, plans to open stores in the U.S.

The news comes after the company secured “an eight-figure funding package,” including a revolving credit facility, from HSBC, Retail Gazette reported.

The publication noted that Pets Corner plans to expand in both Europe and the U.S. Plans call for more stores as well veterinary centers and pet spas. The company is also acquiring a seven-location retail chain.

Retail Gazette reported that the company intends to open 10 stores by the end of the year. It’s not clear how many stores will be opened in the U.S. or when they might launch.

At first it was just an idea: Animal supplements needed the same quality control that human-grade supplements receive. But that was enough to start a movement and an organization —the National Animal Supplement Council — that would be dedicated to establishing a comprehensive path forward for the animal supplements industry. In this Media Spotlight interview, NASC’s president, Bill Bookout, talks to PETS+ interviewer Chloe DiVita about the industry today: Where it’s headed, what’s the latest focus and why it’s vital to gain the involvement of independent pet product retailers.
