Future Plan

So, the plan with Thorney Critters is to eventually open up a shop. This may take a while but its what we eventually would like to do. Another idea is to set up shop on our own premises. Meaning we would have out buildings and use that as a shop set-up, either way that's the future plan.

We accept we have a journey to get on yet before we can even start to prepare for that, but we are making tracks. However, most importantly, we want to provide the best of everything to you, our costumers.
For only recently starting out, we have done plenty of mooching around exotic pets shops around the UK of all different sizes. Quite honestly, I can only think of a hand full that have really impressed me. Yet, some we have been in have been a little different and this is where we want to come in and make the difference, set the standard just a little higher.

Our aim is to stock critters because we like and we want them! We also want to be able to tell you all the information you need to know about them, such as caring, handling, habitat and so forth. Well obviously, you may think, you will be working in a critter shop... Ah, but you see this is the point I am making. You will be surprised that some shops are not fully knowledgeable about all their animals, not keen on touching them and quite open by the fact they don't really like them. Now, I don't know about you, but that doesn't really fill me with confidence when buying an animal. Our motto here at Thorney Critters is, if we don't feel confident with them, we are not confident to be selling them on, it's just not fair. We want our costumers to have confidence in us and our stock and the only way we can show that is to love and know everything about every critter we have. We don't want to be scared of  our Critters, we don't see the point!

Another problem we are coming across is pricing! Its shocking how pricing of all kind of Critters is so sporadic from place to place and it doesn't really make any sense! So we will have honest and correct pricing for our Critters.

Our shop will be welcoming, vibrant and a interesting place to visit, it's always awkward when you walk into a silent sweaty shoe box sized shop. Thorney Critters aim is to be family friendly, knowledgeable and fun! This is where you, our costumers come in! We want your comments, thoughts and even your experiences  good or bad on what you expect to see in a Critter shop.


  • What kind of Critters would you like to see?
  • Would you want to hold a Critter?
  • Would you want a points reward system of some kind?
  • How would you create a vibrant, funky environment?
  • What are your thoughts and experiences?

Thank you
Sam.
