An award-winning pet superstore is set to open its doors in the North East next week.
Jollyes, which has been supporting pets for more than half a century, will welcome customers to its new Hartlepool store at Teesbay Retail Park on Saturday, February 14, with doors opening from 9am.
Shoppers will be able to browse a range of pet products from dog dental sticks to bird food, with the company promising customers their “favourite products at their favourite prices”.
The new opening will mark the latest addition to the national retailer as it continues to expand across the UK.
Leighann Dagleish, deputy manager at Jollyes Hartlepool, said she hopes the store will become a trusted part of the community.
She said: “I’ve always had a real passion for animals and love helping pet owners find everything they need to keep their pets happy and healthy. My aim is to help create a welcoming, friendly store where customers feel confident asking for advice and leave knowing they’ve had great service.
“I hope Jollyes Hartlepool becomes a place our community can trust, enjoy visiting, and rely on for all their pet care needs. So don’t forget to bring your furry friends for our exciting opening day.”
Since the announcement, many residents have taken to social media to share their excitement.
One person said: “This is amazing news! So glad we’re getting one in Hartlepool.”
