Jollyes opened its latest superstore in Blackpool at the weekend with three more new outlets planned for next month – Ponders End, Hartlepool and Whitehaven.

The store was opened by Labour MP for Blackpool South, Chris Webb, ably supported by Sid from charity partner National Foundation for Retired Service Animals, who bit through a string of sausages.

On opening day, Jollyes also donated £8,000 to local cat charity – Furry Tails Feline Welfare as part of its Christmas giving campaign.

The Blackpool store has created eight jobs and is run by store manager Alex Dennis.

In-store features include:

• A community pet clinic offering vaccinations and microchipping from trained Royal College vets.
• An expanded cat range and frozen raw food section.
• ‘Zoomies’ delivery service via Uber Eats – delivering pet food and toys within 30 minutes to customers within five miles.
