Jollyes unveils new Chester pet superstore
Jollyes in Chester is the pet superstore’s 105th store in the UK joining other stores in and around Cheshire in Congleton, Ellesmere Port, Flint, Widnes, Runcorn, Warrington and Wrexham
Jollyes has opened its first Chester store at 2B Chester Retail Park, Old Seals Way.
The new store will provide pet owners in Chester access to Jollyes’ raw food frozen ‘shop-in-shop’ and a community pet clinic which will open later this year.
The opening has also created 12 jobs and is led by experienced Jollyes store manager Stephen Williams who’s been promoted to the role after 11 years working for Jollyes in Runcorn.
Additionally, joining the Chester team are deputy manager Charlie Davis who has been promoted from his role as supervisor at Jollyes’ Flint store and new supervisor Holly Williams.
The new store was inaugurated by the Lord Mayor of Chester, Cllr Razia Daniels a governor of the City of Chester University and The Queen’s School Chester.
Alongside The Lord Mayor was detector dog Sully and his handler Olivia Uguz who bit through a string of sausages to declare the store open.
Sully, a sprocker, works for the border force protecting the country and like many service animals may be supported in later years by the National Federation of Retired Service Dogs (NFRSA) which Jollyes recently named as a key charity partner.
The NFRSA helps support the care, well-being, and welfare of retired service animals from across the emergency service family – the police, fire, border force, National Crime Agency, NHS and prison services.
Over the next 12 months, all Jollyes’ stores will be raising money for NFRSA with collections matched by Jollyes up to £20,000 that will help the charity support retired service animals and their owners.
Jollyes in Chester is the pet superstore’s 105th store in the UK joining other stores in and around Cheshire in Congleton, Ellesmere Port, Flint, Widnes, Runcorn, Warrington and Wrexham.
Williams said: “We’re delighted to have brought Jollyes to Chester. My whole team here at the store can’t wait to bring their pet expertise to the city alongside the kind of value that’s been making a real difference to pet parents right across the UK.”
