After two amazing years, we’ve made the difficult but exciting decision to close our physical shop, Obsessive Recessive Pets. Our final day open for trade will be Saturday 27th June.
As many of you already know, alongside the shop we also run Obsessive Recessive Roots CIC from our land, where we’ve been creating a space focused on community, nature, animals, wellbeing and hands-on experiences.
Over time, the CIC side of things has grown massively, and we’ve realised that this is where we truly want to focus all of our time and energy moving forward.
Trying to run both the shop and the CIC at the same time has become too much to manage properly, especially with the rising costs involved in keeping a physical shop open. So after a lot of thought, we’ve decided to fully focus on growing the CIC, our land-based projects, workshops, animal experiences and community work.
This isn’t the end of Obsessive Recessive Pets completely though!
We will still be:
🐍 Offering local delivery on our popular minibeasts and feeders
🛍 Keeping a smaller range of our best-selling products available online and at events
🎪 Attending fairs, markets and community events
🌱 Running workshops, sessions and experiences through the CIC
📱 Continuing social media content from the land and with the animals
Most importantly, all proceeds going forward will help support Obsessive Recessive Roots CIC and the work we’re doing within the community.
We just want to say a massive THANK YOU to everybody who has supported the shop over the last two years. Every order, recommendation, share and visit has genuinely meant so much to us.
Although it’s sad closing this chapter, we’re incredibly excited for what comes next and for the opportunity to put everything into building something really special through the CIC ❤️
Over the next few weeks we’ll be running clearance sales, reducing stock and preparing for the transition, so keep an eye on the page for bargains and updates!
Thank you all for being part of the journey 🌿
