National pet retailer Jollyes is opening a new store in Wrexham, North Wales, in April.
The company is taking over a lease at Border Retail Park from Bensons for Beds, which is closing its branch at the end of February. Jollyes is currently recruiting in the area for 10 staff positions and has offered job interviews to any interested Bensons colleagues.
As well as selling a wide range of pet food and accessories, the new Wrexham store will feature the latest version of “The Spa”, Jollyes’ dedicated dog grooming salon.
It will be the company’s second store in North Wales, complementing its outlet at the Flintshire Retail Park, Flint.
Jollyes regional manager Sarah Farrar said: “We’ve been looking to find another great location in North Wales for some time and can’t wait to welcome customers and their pets to our new Wrexham store.
“This will be a full service store with a grooming spa and pet clinic, designed it to make it as easy as possible for customers to find what they are looking for.”
Backed by Kester Capital, Jollyes operates more than 70 stores across the UK. The company announced in January it had a pipeline of 20 new store openings over the next 19 months.
