A new veterinary practice is to open in Maghull after two local entrepreneurs signed up for a retail unit in a popular shopping parade.
Noah’s Ark will open today (Tuesday April 19) after practice manager Melissa Wayland and her business partner, vet Laura Malthouse, signed a 15-year lease for unit 44 and flat 44a at Central Square with owners Evolve Estates.
The pair has invested £500,000 in the business, the 1,110 sq ft former HSBC building, which will have the latest equipment to diagnose accurately and rapidly. They have also appointed 14 full-time and part-time staff.
Melissa said: “Our fit out has taken three months to complete as we have completely ripped it out and built a state-of-the-art vet practice. Maghull has such a great community feel and because we wanted to emulate the old school feel of a community, independent vet practice, Central Square is the ideal location. We can hardly wait to welcome people and their pets to the surgery.”
Phil Murphy, Asset Manager of Evolve Estates, said: “Central Square is the focal point for Maghull, with a range of independent stores and high street brands that attracts thousands of shoppers every week. It’s great to welcome a new service at the parade, adding to the tenant mix.”
Central Square comprises 40 retail units and tenants include Costa Coffee, Hays Travel, Boots and Home Bargains. There is also a car park for more than 180 vehicles, plus an EV charger for electric vehicles.
Noah’s Ark will be open Monday-Friday, 9am-5pm, and Saturdays, 9am-1pm. For more information visit: maghull.vet.
