One of the staff told 9 News they were lucky to only have suffered minor injuries during the incident.

"We sort of got stuck behind the car and the bench," they said.

"I'm bruised, probably a broken rib as well but I'll be okay."

The driver of the vehicle said the car just sped straight into the pet shop, saying the incident was likely as a result of mechanical issues.

According to police, no one was seriously injured during the accident.

The owners of the pet store believe they will be reopen for business by next week.
