A PET shop is offering creature comforts to shoppers after winning a retail competition.

Aquamania, which has a shop in Higher Audley Street, Blackburn, won two weeks’ trading in a key pitch in The Mall shopping centre’s Retail Factor competition.

The shop won the pitch close to the Ask Me Point after impressing judges with a business plan and trading figures.

Mall general manager Loraine Jones said: “The Mall continuously supports entrepreneurship in Lancashire.

We’re really pleased Aquamania is getting lots of interest from shoppers in The Mall and wish them success.”
