Hey everyone! Welcome to Ro & Friends Pet Store!
We’re a husband-and-wife team with a deep love for our dogs, and we’re excited to share a bit about our luxury pet brand.
Our journey began on the first anniversary of our beloved chihuahua, Romeo, passing away. We named our store after him, calling it Ro & Friends. “Ro” was Romeo’s nickname, and the “Friends” part honours all the pets who could have been his buddies, including our four current dogs.
Lauren left school early without finishing her GCSEs, but her entrepreneurial spirit drove her to succeed. Ryan, always eager to build his own business, wanted to create a stable future for us. We started our boutique from a small hallway cupboard, and within eight months, we were ready for our first office space.
Four months later, we outgrew that space and moved into our first unit. Now, 17 months on, we’re thrilled to announce the opening of our first official store on 30th September 2023. Our journey has exceeded our wildest dreams, and we love sharing our experiences as young business owners and life partners on social media. The online family we’ve built means the world to us, and we’re excited to see where this journey takes us next.
Thank you for all your support so far!
Lots of love,
Ro & Friends xx
