The new shop, on the Chester Retail Park, was officially opened on Friday, August 16 by three special guests.
Performing the red ribbon cutting was Lord Mayor of Chester, Cllr Razia Daniels, a Governor of City of the University of Chester and The Queen’s School Chester.
Alongside The Lord Mayor was detector dog Sully and his handler Olivia Uguz, who bit through a string of sausages to declare the store open.
Over the next 12 months, all Jollyes stores will be raising money for NFRSA with collections matched by Jollyes up to £20,000 that will help NFRSA support retired service animals and their owners.
The new Chester store has created 12 jobs and is led by experienced Jollyes store manager Stephen Williams, who has been promoted to the role after 11 years working for Jollyes in Runcorn.
