Jollyes FY2026: revenue +8.7% to £169M, plans to double stores to 250+

Key figures

  • Jollyes closed the year to 31 May 2026 with revenue of £169M, up 8.7%, and 14 new stores.
  • It is pitched as vet-recommended and sits directly against the UK veterinary-diet market, which Jollyes puts at more than £1.5B.
  • Chao Yun Group invests ¥66.9M in Shandong Shuaike — Chinese pet-food supply chain tightens

Jollyes closed the year to 31 May 2026 with revenue of £169M, up 8.7%, and 14 new stores. The chain is now working toward 250+ locations, against 123 five years ago.

Three things account for most of the growth: an expanding own-label range (Simply Jollyes, Lifestage and Optimum Pet Health), a rollout of frozen raw-food stations, and an exclusive delivery partnership with Uber Eats.

Jollyes FY2026 Revenue

The positioning sits closer to a discounter than to a traditional pet superstore: value pricing, a growing own-label share, and enough specialist range to keep owners who would otherwise shop on price alone.

Optimum Pet Health is the line worth watching. It is pitched as vet-recommended and sits directly against the UK veterinary-diet market, which Jollyes puts at more than £1.5B.

The five-year doubling target also runs against the assumption that pet specialty is moving online only. Jollyes is betting the other way.
