The premises in Mere Street were formerly a Pride Animal Rescue shop but it closed after the owner was jailed for stealing tens of thousands of pounds from veterinary practices. 

The chain will be giving out 200 free personal pizzas to customers in the area the weekend before opening along with a free cookie to all customers collecting their order on opening week.

There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 11am on April 8.
