Pets at Home is opening a store on the Spring Valley industrial estate

Questions over large chain stores coming to the Isle of Man will be raised in Tynwald tomorrow.

Douglas South MHK Bill Malarkey is to ask the Economic Development Minister Allan Bell if he supports the expansion of the Spring Valley industrial estate into a larger retail park.

Earlier this year Pets at Home was granted planning permission to open a store on the site, and has recently placed adverts for staff.

Halfords and Carpet Right have also shown an interest in trading from Spring Valley.
