The Winx temporarily worked for Mr. Rooney, the owner of the biggest toy shop in Gardenia, and it was there that Flora found the plush animals that she brought to life using her magic. As a reward for having done their job well, Mr. Rooney offered the location of what would become the Love & Pet Shop to the Winx. The shop itself was created from an idea of Flora's to help people believe in magic again. On the first floor of the Love & Pet Shop is a lounge where the Winx live during their stay on Earth. Neither Love & Pet nor the Fairy Pets appear after the fourth season.
