Pet retail group Jollyes opened its latest superstore in Whitehaven on Friday to take its number of outlets to 120.

The store was officially opened by Fergie a retired explosive search dog and Arya a patrol dog from National Foundation for Retired Service Animals. They were accompanied by Mayor Raymond Gill. 

Over the past three years Jollyes has almost doubled the number of stores across the UK, becoming a clear challenger brand in the UK pet retail market. It was named as one of The Sunday Times’ best big companies to work for in 2024, and in 2025 won the Retail Week Award for Head Office Heroes following its highly successful raw frozen food roll out.

So far this year, Jollyes has opened stores in Blackpool and Ponders End, and now in Whitehaven.
