A retired police dog is set to open a new pet store in East Kilbride next week.
Corrie, an Alsatian who served for six years with Police Scotland, will bite through a string of sausages to declare the Jollyes store officially open on Saturday, November 30.
The fast-growing pet retailer, which now has over 100 stores across the UK, is set to open its new Kingsgate Retail Park store at 10am.
Corrie, who is supported in her retirement by the National Foundation for Retired Service Animals, Jollyes charity partner, will be accompanied by a St Andrew’s day piper.
Jollyes’ new East Kilbride store aims to be the best value pet store in town, joining other Scottish stores in Perth, Stirling, Glenrothes, Hermiston Gate (Edinburgh), Port Glasgow and Clydebank.
The price of baskets of top-selling items for dogs and cats have been lowered so they’re over 10 per cent better value than the market leader.
Pet parents will have access to Jollyes’ raw food frozen ‘shop-in-shop’ and later this year, community pet clinics at each location will offer unbeatable prices for essential vet services such as microchipping and vaccinations.
Launching the new value campaign, Joe Wykes, Jollyes chief executive officer, said: “Whenever we open a new store we make a promise to be the best value in town for all the items a pet parent needs.
“We can only make that promise because we work super hard, day-in, day-out to lower our own costs and carefully check prices elsewhere. And while we know price is paramount, we also know what makes Jollyes special is the service and expertise our people deliver in store.
“We look forward to showing new shoppers in East Kilbride what Jollyes is all about as they deliver the kind of savings that we already offer in over 100 other communities right across the UK.”
