    Nationwide pet retailer Jollyes is to open a store in Harrogate this month as part of expansion plans.

    The store, which will be situated at Hookstone Park, near Morrisons, will open on September 29 and employ 10 people. It will include a grooming spa called the Jolly Groomer.

    Jollyes was founded in 1971 and employs more than 1,000 staff at 93 sites, many of which run community clinics offering vaccinations.

    The company plans to open 10 more stores by the middle of 2024, taking its total number of sites to 103.

    News of the Harrogate venture was included in a trading update today that revealed the company recorded sales of £33.7 million in the first quarter of 2024 — 34% higher than the £25.3m figure for last year's first quarter.

    Growth was partly fuelled by an increase in sign-ups to the firm's pet club, which rewards customers for sales.

    Chief executive Joe Wykes said:

    “Our performance in our opening quarter of this financial year underlines the effectiveness of the strategy we’ve put in place – delivering exceptional value to our customers, powered by the most knowledgeable colleagues in the industry."
