Award-winning pet retailer Jollyes Pets is due to open the doors to its latest store in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, at Oak Tree Centre, Jubilee Way South, NG18 3RT.
Proud to be the UK’s only pet specialist discounter, Jollyes Pets is bringing its commitment to affordable pet care to Mansfield, helping local owners keep the cost of caring for their pets down while household budgets remain under pressure.
To celebrate the opening, customers can get their ‘paws’ on 100 limited-edition goody bags and spin Jollyes’ iconic ‘Wheel of Fur-tune’ for a chance to win prizes, while Jollyes’ mascot, Jolly, will also be on hand to meet and greet visitors. The celebrations will continue on Saturday, with an entertainer in store to add to the family fun.
Marking the official opening, Deputy Mayor of Mansfield, Craig Whitby, will cut the red ribbon alongside some very special canine guests, Hazy, Juke, Ozzy, Jimmy and Buddy. The dogs will attend on behalf of the NFRSA*, Jollyes Pets’ nationwide charity partner. Hazy previously served as a Forensic Evidence Detection Dog with Derbyshire Constabulary, while Juke and Ozzy both served with HMP Nottingham before retiring. Joining them will be active prison detection dogs Jimmy, an English Springer Spaniel, and Buddy, a fox red Labrador.
The brand new store has created 7 jobs for the local community and will be led by store manager Sam Newbold. Sam is looking forward to welcoming Mansfield’s pet owners to the new store and meeting their four-legged friends. A keen animal lover, they have two dogs, Bruce and Toby, and two rabbits, Flin and Albert.
Customers will be able to browse much-loved household names including Pedigree, Whiskas, Harringtons and Felix, alongside specialist pet brands such as Royal Canin and Hill’s, giving pet parents even more choice when it comes to finding the right products for their furry family members.
The store will also stock Jollyes Pets’ own-label ranges, including Lifestage for dogs and cats and Optimum Pet Health, offering big-brand quality at own-label prices and backed by a 100% money-back guarantee.
Pet parents can also expect an extensive selection of raw food, natural treats, alongside toys, treats and accessories – all under one roof.
Sam Newbold, store manager at Jollyes Pets Mansfield, said: “It’s brilliant to be bringing Jollyes Pets to Mansfield and giving local pet owners a new place to discover great value products for their four-legged, feathered and furry friends. Having spent 12 years managing stores, I’m excited to get to know our new team and customers. As a pet lover myself, with two dogs, Bruce and Toby, and two rabbits, Flin and Albert, I know how important our pets are to the family!
“We’re kicking things off with a fun-filled opening weekend, and we can’t wait to welcome the local community into the store, introduce everyone to our mascot Jolly and give visitors the chance to enjoy some freebies and prizes. We’re looking forward to becoming a familiar face in the local pet community!”
The opening will take Jollyes Pets to 129 stores across the UK, with 12 new locations opening since January and a further store set to open in Dunfermline on 5 November, before the end of the year. 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.
