Jollyes to accelerate growth plans

// Jollyes is set to accelerate growth by opening up to 20 new stores over the next 18 months through new leases and the acquisition of smaller retailers
// During the year the pet retailer saw its customer visits rise by 13%

Pet retailer Jollyes has unveiled plans to accelerate growth by opening up to 20 new stores over the next 18 months.

After experiencing significant growth over the past two years, its latest news will create over 150 jobs for those wanting to work with animals.

Jollyes is also planning new investment in its product ranges, marketing and colleagues as it reinforces its position as ‘The Pet People’ through the in-depth expertise of its team who can offer advice on anything pet-related.

In its most recent quarter, which ended on the August 29, Jollyes delivered 21 per cent like-for-like growth compared to the same period in 2019.

All regions across the UK have seen double digit growth with a particularly exceptional
performance in Northern Ireland.

For the 12 months to May 2021, Jollyes saw its customer visits rise by 13 per cent to £77 million compared to 2020, thanks to new lockdown pet owners, the introduction of its Pet Club scheme and new services such as dog grooming through its growing network of spas.

Jollyes executive chairman Richard Cotter said: “While remaining open throughout the pandemic to serve pet lovers has not been easy because of the added cost and complexity, our people have more than risen to the challenge, and we’ve enjoyed a very successful year with sensational progress,”

“We’re excited about our future – we’ve worked hard to build a strong platform that will allow us to do much more – new and better stores, wider ranges and further investment in our people as we bring their passion for pets to more communities across the UK.”

Eagle Labs launches impirica CBD brand

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Labs has launched impirica, a new brand of CBD intended to eliminate consumer fear, and increase confidence, in trying the exciting new cannabidiol category. Michael Law Although most Americans have now heard about CBD, many are very confused and concerned about product quality. This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...
