Pet store with 'a bit of everything’ opens in Harrogate today
National pet retailer Jollyes opened its doors in Harrogate today.
The store, which is located on Hookstone Park, near Morrisons, is one of 95 Jollyes sites in the UK.
It sells pet foods, toys, bedding and vitamins and also offers a pet grooming service called The Jolly Groomer.
Jollyes caters for a wide range of pets ranging from dogs and cats to chipmunks and aquatic turtles.
Ten staff are employed at the Harrogate site. Branch manager Dawn Jenkins told the Stray Ferret:
Jollyes, which has over 1,000 employees across the UK, plans to open 10 more stores by the middle of 2024.
The company held a competition with the Stray Ferret to give one person and their dog the chance to officially open the new Harrogate store, as well as take part in a trolley dash.
The lucky winners, Dawn McLean and her Dachshund Alan, helped to cut the red ribbon and grabbed a new bed and some treats during their dash.
“What a store – it’s amazing”, Ms McLean added.

Jollyes Harrogate is open seven days per week.
