A NEW superstore for pet products is set to open its doors in Southend next month.

Jollyes, which has stores across the UK, is transforming the former Farmfoods unit at Greyhound Retail Park.

Next door to Lidl, at unit 3B, the store hails itself as the “best value pet superstore”, selling pet products including toys and treats, and offering “accessible” health care and expert grooming.

The firm launched a recruitment drive at the start of the month and has now revealed an opening date for November.

A spokesman shared: “Have you spotted our sign shining bright across sunny Southend? With our new branding too.

“Not long now, the countdown has just begun.

“Save the date: November 22 - the grand opening of your best value pet superstore.”

The opening of the new pet shop comes as another Jollyes prepares to open its doors in Grays on November 11.

Farmfoods permanently closed its doors in February this year.

A 50 per cent sale was held on its last day, and customers have since been redirected to the new store in Eastern Avenue.
