Samson’s Cafe

Aim

I am looking to open a dog friendly cafe, with a groomers. This will be a hub working with independent businesses and rescues locally

Welcome to Olive & Samson, a unique and delightful dog-friendly café soon to be located in the heart of Leamington Spa. We are more than just a café; we are a pet-friendly haven, a pet service provider and a professional pet groomer. We are a local business, dedicated to serving our community and their beloved pets.

At Olive & Samson, we offer a range of products that cater to both our human and canine customers. Our selection includes pet accessories and grooming supplies, as well as a variety of café beverages and snacks. But we're not just about products; we're about creating a unique experience. Our café provides a special menu for dogs, ensuring that our four-legged customers are well catered for. We believe that every member of the family, including our furry friends, deserves to enjoy a delicious treat!

But that's not all! We also offer professional pet grooming services. Our experienced groomers will be on site, allowing customers to have their pets groomed while they relax in our café. It's a convenient and stress-free way to keep your pet looking their best. Plus, our establishment is designed with pets in mind, featuring pet-friendly furniture and decor. At Olive & Samson, we're creating a space where pets are not just allowed, but truly welcomed.

Starting Olive & Samson has been a dream come true for me! The journey began when I was trying to find a groomer for my own dog, Samson. I wanted to be present during the grooming process, but I found it incredibly difficult to find a place that would allow this. The whole experience was stressful, not just for me, but for Samson too. I knew there had to be a better way.

With my extensive background in hospitality, I saw an opportunity to combine my two passions - pets and people. I envisioned a place where pet owners could relax and enjoy a cup of coffee while their furry friends were being pampered. A place where the grooming process was transparent and inclusive, rather than hidden away. This is how the idea for Olive & Samson was born.

I am incredibly excited to bring this unique concept to life. Olive & Samson is not just a pet-friendly café or a grooming service - it's a community for pet lovers. It's a place where you can feel at home, whether you're a human or a hound. With rehoming days for local shelters, an in store boutique for local businesses and fortnightly sessions with a dog trainer this truly will be a place for the community. I can't wait to welcome you and your furry friends to Olive & Samson, once we’ve opened.
