Over 40 years ago Sheila and Raymond's daughter Sharron won a fish at the annual Bakewell Fare. At the time they had to travel quite some distance out of the village to buy their new pet a fish bowl. Spotting a gap in the market, they decided to test out selling pet supplies alongside other products in the car parts shop they already owned.

Decades later and the pet supplies experiment has succeeded and the car parts have long gone. To say that this family are "petaholics" is an understatement which may account for their continued business success.

The family will soon become third generation pet suppliers, with granddaughter Rebecca (who claims she was pretty much raised in the shop) learning the ropes, although nobody can see Sharon standing back quite yet....let alone Sheila!
