Jollyes Pets on the hunt for over 160 new locations

 

Jollyes Pets has released a list of over 160 locations right across Great Britain where it would like to open new stores.

 

Already trading from 120 stores, in 2026 Jollyes has brought its special combination of low prices and pet expertise to new places across the country, opening in Blackpool, Ponders End, Hartlepool and Whitehaven.

 

It’s now taking steps to accelerate the programme by identifying over 160 towns or cities across England, Wales and Scotland, it would like to open stores over the coming five years.

 

If the right sites become available, Jollyes could sign-up another 25 store locations in 2026, offering customers for the first time, a real choice as they look after their pets.

 

Locations of particular interest are in the major conurbations of Birmingham, Liverpool, Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Leicester, Nottingham, Manchester and within the M25 around London.

 

Jollyes’ property team is looking for locations between 3,000 and 7,000 square feet on retail parks and/or prominent roadside locations.

 

The search is being managed by Edgerley Simpson Howe in England and Wales and Savills in Scotland.

 

Jollyes also today confirmed the opening dates for its next three stores. A new store in  Lincoln opened yesterday, with further openings at Kidderminster (29 May) and Yeovil (19 June).  It also plans to open a new store in Derby in early summer.

 

Jollyes Pets property director Warren Bester said: “We’re on a mission to make high-quality pet care accessible to all, investing in range development alongside our commitment to low prices, as we deliver great value every day.

 

“Wherever we open a store, we become the location of choice for pet parents in the community who value our combination of low prices and brilliant service from colleagues with real expertise in pet care.

 

“We’re looking forward to bringing that special combination to as many places as we can over the next five years.”

 

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.

 

The full list of towns and cities Jollyes is looking to open stores are as follows:
