Canine Cutting Club to open new branch in Knutsford

Established in 2018 by female entrepreneur, Bracken Tighe, The Canine Cutting Club and offers a comprehensive range of grooming services for all dogs, regardless of breed or size.

As well as a simple wash, cut and dry, full maintenance packages, including teeth cleaning, tear stain treatment, eye and ear cleaning and nail clipping will be available, alongside pooch pampering experiences such as a blueberry facial or a mud bath.

Bracken, who also has a degree in Bioveterinary Science, will also be offering a range of courses suited to owners as well as those hoping to embark on a career as a professional dog groomer.

The arrival of the new business will mean Knutsford now has its first dog grooming training academy.

With branches in Stockton Heath and Hale, Bracken explained that she always wanted to open a store in the town.

She said: "I live near Knutsford and spend a lot of my time here so I knew it was the perfect place to open a dog grooming salon.

"It was simply a matter of waiting for the right high street location to become available.

"Forward Property Group, who own the premises on King Street and are also my landlords in Hale, mentioned they were completing a refurb on the old Broadbents store.

"I remembered just how prominent the location was and that it had excellent parking so I jumped at the opportunity.

"The store was also large enough to allow me to fulfil my dream of launching the training academy too.

"It’s a really exciting time."

Forward Property Group, based in Rostherne, is an independently owned property investment business.

The company acquired the former Broadbents premises last year and commenced a comprehensive programme of redevelopment and refurbishment, returning the former clothes boutique to its original footprint.

Chris Wright, of Forward Property Group, said: "The Canine Cutting Club is thriving in both Hale and Stockton Heath and is exactly the kind of fun yet useful enterprise that Knutsford residents will welcome and support.

"We’re really proud to have taken on the refurbishment of the old Broadbents store and to be creating modern and energy efficient retail units that will provide a base for exciting and interesting independent businesses like Bracken’s.

"We’re proud to be able to say that all the units have now been let and shoppers can expect to see some new businesses arriving as well as others relocating over the next few months."
