Jollyes Pets has officially opened its 125th store at The Valley in Evesham as it continues its UK expansion. The pet retail group is set to open another superstore in Great Yarmouth tomorrow (Friday)

For the Evesham opening, the Jollyes team were joined by the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals alongside the Mayor Cllr Bill Kimberley and Cllr Mrs Celia Kimberley, who did the honours of cutting the ribbon.

“We’re delighted to finally open the doors and welcome customers on the red carpet to the new store here in Evesham,” said Jollyes Pets area manager Jonty Cornes.

“It was great to see so many dogs come and see their new pet store, including our first VIP paws through the door – cockerpoo Jax.”

Over the past three years, Jollyes has almost doubled the number of stores across the UK.

The retailer’s next store openings will be Great Yarmouth (21 August), Seaham (11 September), Sheffield (25 September) and Mansfield (6 October).
