A much-loved St. Annes pet shop is celebrating after being named a finalist in the UK Small Business Awards 2025. Mav & Annie’s Pet Store will represent Lancashire in the Best Family Business category at the national final in Birmingham this December.

Mav & Annie’s Pet Store in St Annes, run by owner Teresa Kay with the help of her family, has quickly become a community hub offering natural pet treats, its own-brand pet food, and most recently launching ‘Sniff & Bakes’, a range of dog-friendly cakes and bakes.
