Bosses at Sanders Garden World, near Burnham-On-Sea, have postponed the opening of their new Pet and Aquatic Centre until later in March.
The centre was due to open on March 11th but has now been switched to Saturday March 25th to allow additional building work to be completed.
Director Phil Hancock said: “We’ve had lots of people coming in and pre-ordering tropical fish and other pets, creating a greater demand than we anticipated.”
“We decided to change the date of the official opening to allow for extra building work to enable us to accommodate a greater variety of fish on site.”
“The actual area devoted to pets and aquatics won’t change, but we will be able to stock a larger range of tropical fish, which require greater insulation, hence the additional building work.”
Pauline Kidner, Founder of Secret World rescue centre in East Hunstpill, will be opening the centre at 10am on the day alongside Weston Mayor, Cllr Charles Heard.
To avoid any disappointment, Sanders has also decided to hold an Animal Care Day on March 11th when representatives from Secret World and some of their animals will be attending.
