New specialist reptile and pet store opens in Wellington
Wellington has a new independent business on Bell Street. Cold Blooded Ltd is now fully open for trade.
The store is owned by local entrepreneur Kyle Roy. It has been partially operating for a few months but has now officially launched. The shop offers a unique experience for the town’s retail community.
Customers can find a range of reptiles on the upper floor. The ground floor stocks a comprehensive selection of pet products. The shop aims to help both experts and those new to exotic pets.
The Mayor of Wellington, Councillor Reg Snell, visited the shop to mark the official opening. He met the team and even held one of the reptiles. The Mayor expressed his enthusiasm for the new venture in the town centre.
For Kyle, this is a lifelong ambition. He grew up in Wellington and has always had a passion for animals.
Kyle said, “Cold Blooded Ltd is the result of years of passion for reptiles and exotic pets. Bringing this store to Wellington means giving local animal lovers access to quality care products, healthy animals, and trusted advice — right here at home. I’m proud to create a space where education, ethics, and enthusiasm come together.”
The shop adds to the growing list of independent businesses in Wellington. Residents are encouraged to head to Bell Street to meet the team and explore the new store.
