Jollyes new CEO Adam Dury said customers want to treat their pets ‘even in tough economic times’

The petcare retailer recorded 6% like-for-like sales growth from the beginning of December until Christmas Eve, as shoppers looked to purchase “something special” for their pets,  despite the tough economic climate. 

Total sales at the retailer grew 10.4% during the same period. 

The results come amid the retailer’s ambitious store expansion programme, which saw Jollyes open seven new locations in the final weeks of 2025. 

It is set to open four new locations in the coming weeks, in Blackpool, Ponders End, Hartlepool and Whitehaven, almost doubling its store numbers in the last three years. 

Chief executive officer-designate Adam Dury said: “We know how much pets are part of the family and how, even in tough economic times, their owners want quality, care and something special at Christmas for their pets.

“In 2026, we’ll continue to make high-quality pet care accessible to all, investing in both range development alongside our commitment to low prices, as we deliver great value every day.”
