Pet shop chain to invest £500k in Bristol
A pet shop chain has announced that it is to invest £500k in Bristol, with it set to open a new store in the city in December.
The new 7,500 sq ft Jollyes shop in Brislington, which is subject to planning permission, will employ 12 people and even include a pet spa.
Jollyes is also opening a new store in Warmley, replacing the one at Longwell Green, while its store at the Cadbury Garden Centre in Congresbury is moving into a new unit there.
The expansion in Bristol is part of the pet shop chain’s plans to open 20 new stores across the country over the next 18 months, creating 150 jobs.

Matt Godwin, regional manager for Jollyes in the south of England, said: “People in the west of England love their pets and over the years we’ve built up a solid bond with our customers here in Bristol and beyond.
“We’re looking forward to reaching out to more customers here with new stores at Warmley and Congresbury and a new state-of-the-art store at Brislington. Together, they’ll give us the best offer we’ve ever had for pet owners in and around Bristol.”
