Jollyes, The Pet People, to unveil new look for Coventry store this Friday

Tile Hill pet store to reopen later this week as Jollyes after makeover

Jollyes, the Pet People, is putting the finishing touches to a makeover of its new Tile Hill store in Coventry following its acquisition from Bannerbrook Pets in November.

This week a brand new Jollyes sign has gone up over the entrance and the store will be given a new look and internal layout in time for re-opening this Friday, 8 April 2022 at 9.00am.

The makeover will make the shopping experience even more convenient for Coventry customers and their pets with more room to shop.

Over the course of the next few weeks the store will also get new tills and new equipment.

Jollyes bought Bannerbrook Pets in Gramercy Park, Banner Lane, Tile Hill, in November, bringing together two business dedicated to high quality products and personal service for owners and their animals.

All the colleagues who worked at Bannerbrook have been retained and Jollyes is currently recruiting three additional people to join the team.

Matt Godwin, Jollyes regional manager, said: “Bannerbrook has been a great addition to the Jollyes’ family, and we’re delighted to begin to repay the way customers have reacted since we bought the business, with this investment in new jobs, a new look and new layout to make shopping in the store even easier.

“But while we might look a little different, we’re all about the people here at Jollyes – and customers will find the same team, with the same pet expertise at the Tile Hill store.”

The acquisition of Bannerbrook Pets is part of an exciting expansion plan for Jollyes as it opens up to 20 new stores across the UK in 2022 through organic growth and acquisition.
