Award-winning pet discount superstore Jollyes is set to open six new stores across the UK in the coming weeks, including one in South Wales.
Jollyes already has more than 100 stores scattered across the UK, having almost doubled its numbers over the past three years.
The pet retailer already boasts several shops in South Wales, including in Cardiff, Newport and Merthyr Tydfil.
It is now set to expand its portfolio even further by opening six new stores before Christmas 2025.
Four of these new shops will be located in Poundland stores that are scheduled for closure.

Jollyes will also open a new store at the former Poundland store in Cherry Tree Retail Park, Blackpool, which closed on October 25.
Jollyes has also confirmed it will offer any former Poundland colleagues, in the stores it’s taking over, a guaranteed interview for roles.
Jollyes’ chief operating officer and CEO designate, Adam Dury, said: "We’re excited to have the opportunity to bring our combination of low prices and pet expertise to so many new places before the end of the year.
"For too long pet parents across the UK have had little choice – high prices at a specialist or the limited range of a general retailer.
"The secret to our rapid growth is the serious commitment to value in a store where customers can get all they need to care for their family pet alongside advice from our knowledgeable and highly trained colleagues in store."
