Jollyes has announced that it will be opening its newest store in Merthyr Tydfil on Saturday 12 August.
The store, Jollyes 93rd in the UK and fourth in Wales, will be a flagship location for the pet retailer.
It will be one of the first in the UK to get both a new-look community pet clinic and ‘Jolly Groomer’.
These are part of a £1m investment over the next 18 months to “supercharge” Jollyes’ provision of vet clinics.
The new Merthyr store and its team of 12 will be led by Sadie Rawlings who moves over to Pentrebach after overseeing the launch of Jollyes in Llanelli last December.
The store intends to soft-open on Friday 11 August and on Saturday, the first 100 customers will receive a free goody-bag.
Sam Wells, regional manager, said: “We’re starting work next Monday to get the store ready to welcome Dreygo, Milo and the pet parents of Merthyr later this month. We’re thrilled that Pentrebach will be our fourth location in Wales, and we’re looking forward to bringing the kind of value and service that’s already available at Wrexham, Llanelli and Flint to Merthyr.”
The store is set to be opened by Dreygo, a dragon with a huge 15-feet wingspan and smoke-breathing nostrils.
