Jollyes has announced ambitious plans to double its store estate to 250 over the next five years as it posts strong revenue growth for the year.
The petcare retailer grew 8.7% to £169m in the year to May 31, 2026, with like-for-like sales up 4.3%.
At the retailer’s recent store managers’ conference, Jollyes laid out plans to double its store estate in the next five years from 123 today to over 250, releasing a list of over 160 target locations.
Jollyes chief executive Adam Dury said: “This was a strong year for Jollyes as we transformed our offer, built our store network at pace and invested in our colleagues. But this is only the beginning – we’re determined to accelerate our growth as we bring Jollyes’ value to more places to serve more communities.”
The retailer said in a statement this morning that it wished to “underline its position as the leading challenger in a UK pet market” and it would be expanding its ranges with new own-label and branded lines as well as launching a fresh food proposition and teaming with Uber Eats for rapid delivery.
New own-label lines include its first value line Simply Jollyes and a range aimed at cutting the cost of vet-recommended specialist foods called Optimum Pet Health.
Jollyes is set to open its 124th store in Derby this week, with new openings planned in Evesham, Great Yarmouth, Sheffield, Seaham and Mansfield later in the year.
Dury said: “This full-year growth reflects the strength of our value strategy and the growing loyalty of pet owners across the UK, giving us real confidence as we push ahead with our five-year plans to double the size of the business.
“Our compelling price leadership, combined with the expertise of our people and the continued development and innovation in our ranges, gives us an exciting platform for our ambitious plans to grow.”
