BTWEA Featured Business – My Little Pet Shop

My Little Pet Shop by Joanne Griffin

Helping Pet Owners since June 2014, My Little Pet Shop at Upper Bridge Street, Killorglin, is fast becoming recognised as a benchmark in the provision of pet care & products. A true family run business, Michelle O Grady, together with her partner Ross Scott started this business after being unable to find high quality pet products at reasonable prices in the immediate locality.

All the products in stock are handpicked by Michelle and are of excellent quality, fantastic design and of course appealing price tags. Michelle’s personal involvement in the industry goes back to her college days, where she studied Equine Science at the University of Limerick before travelling to the USA and Canada to gain invaluable experience.

My Little Pet Shop will cater for all your pet needs from dogs to cats, birds to fish and even equine products. Michelle prides herself in offering a second to none customer service and so if the product is not in store, Michelle will source and order the product for you. The store is rapidly expanding and as a result, the addition of a grooming parlour is in the pipeline in the not too distant future.

More information on this exciting new enterprise can be found by contacting Michelle directly on 066 976 2500 or by mobile on 087 973 6711, by email on [email protected] or by viewing her face book page @ My Little Pet shop

This exciting new enterprise has emerged in 2014 with the help of the Back to Work Enterprise Allowance (BTWEA) facilitated by South Kerry Development Partnership Ltd (SKDP). This scheme encourages people getting certain social welfare payments to take up self employment opportunities by allowing them to retain a proportion of their social welfare payment, plus secondary benefits.

For further information on the BTWEA, please contact an Enterprise Officer from SKDP in your area. Joanne Griffin (Killorglin and Kenmare) on 087 615 2660 or Anne O Riordan (Cahersiveen and Killarney) on 066 947 2724.
