Jollyes to open three stores before the end of the year

Jollyes has announced that it is set to open three new stores, in East Kilbride, Leyland and Cardiff, before the end of the year.
The Leyland store will be the first to open on Friday 15 November, with a formal ceremony the next day.
It comes as Jollyes stores across the country have begun to accept donations for its charity partner the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals (NFRSA).
The NFRSA helps support the care, well-being, and welfare of retired service animals from across the emergency service family.

Joe Wykes, Jollyes CEO, said: “We’re incredibly proud to partner with NFRSA and the amazing Countess Bathurst. We know from our colleagues and customers how excited they are to help the retired service animals the NFRSA cares for. We’ll do all we can to get behind them over the year ahead.”
Countess Bathurst, NFRSA founder, added: “I am incredibly proud that the NFRSA is a key charity partner of Jollyes. One thing that is incredibly important to me is that the NFRSA is a community as much as a charity, and that the pets and families we support all feel part of our family.
“It is one of the reasons we are so perfectly aligned with Jollyes – because they are all about supporting their people and customers and making their stores a happy place to be. Jollyes is growing at such a high speed and so are we – so there will be a wonderful synergy as we grow together.”
