Snowdonia Travel
Snowdonia Travel, which already had a travel agency store on Sea View Road in Colwyn Bay, celebrated opening another shop on Prestatyn’s High Street earlier in June.
The business is owned by Darren Owen, who started the agency after being made redundant by Thomas Cook in 2019 after 28 years at the company.
The redundancy left him “devastated” after working for them for so long, but also spurred him on to start his own business.

UTA Kennels
This business opened its second store, providing “100 per cent natural treats for dogs”, in Llandudno last month.
It follows a successful first year of business for its other shop, in Kinmel Bay.
As well as selling dog treats, supplements and accessories, the store is aiming to have a “self-service wash and go” area open by the end of June, and a dog grooming room up and running by August.
