In later years Allan and Joans children Peter and Rosemary joined the store to help their parents. The family worked side by side together to make the store a household name in Brighton and Hove. Looking through its history, A Coombs Pet Centre has been through some turbulent times. It has survived one world war and two global recessions! The longevity of this independent, family run pet store is due to the fact that it has become an integral part of the community in Brighton and Hove. Generations of families have all bought pets from the Baker Street store. Known affectionately as 'Coombs' by the locals this store has gone from strength to strength since its opening in the early 30's. They continue to strive to improve their businesses with extra endeavours such as later opening hours, Home deliveries, Micro-chipping, 7 days a week opening and an international website. Their proactive attitude and family values means that A Coombs Pet Centre really is one of the best Pet Stores in the UK.
