Jollyes prepares for Glenrothes store opening
The date for the Glenrothes store opening is two weeks later than originally planned to allow fitting out work to be completed
Jollyes has announced it is putting the finishing touches to its new store in Glenrothes in Fife, the company’s latest store and fourth in Scotland.
The store will open at Saltire Retail Park in Glenrothes on 8 October at 10.00am, with a line-up of events planned for the day, including what is believed to be the first pet store opening by a unicorn, the national animal of Scotland.
Jollyes said Glenrothes has no plans to sell unicorns, but has turned to the expertise of Scotland’s Unicorn Experience.
Events on the opening day include the official opening by unicorn Princess, goodie bags for the first 100 visitors, a radio competition on Kingdom FM, the chance to win prizes, and children can meet and feed Princess.
The date for the Glenrothes store opening is two weeks later than originally planned to allow fitting out work to be completed.
The 5,000 square feet store will employ 10 colleagues, led by store manager Leonard Goddard.
Kerry Midgley, Jollyes regional manager, said: “We’re looking forward to opening a store that everyone in Glenrothes can be proud of and what better way to do it than to have Scotland’s national animal, a unicorn, to be there to celebrate the occasion.
“The store is in a great location and we’ve designed it to make it as easy as possible for pet lovers in Glenrothes and the surrounding area to find what they are looking for from small animals, food and accessories to toys and treats.”
Jollyes is also preparing to open a store at Hermiston Gait Retail Park, its fifth in Scotland as part of a near £1m investment. The two new openings follow the opening of Jollyes in Stirling in June and build on the popularity of the long-standing stores in Clydebank and Perth.
