Nigel will officially open the store with a ribbon-cutting ceremony at 2:00pm, helping to mark a proud milestone for the much-loved charity. The event promises to bring together dog lovers, and bargain hunters alike for a day of fun, community spirit, and celebration.
Speaking ahead of the opening, Nigel Clough said:
“I’m absolutely delighted to be supporting Jerry Green Dog Rescue and to help celebrate the opening of their new Forest Town shop. Their work transforming the lives of dogs in need is truly inspiring, and it’s wonderful to see the local community rallying behind such a great cause. I’m really looking forward to meeting everyone on the day.”
Since opening its Blidworth rehoming centre in 2015, Jerry Green Dog Rescue has become a vital part of Nottinghamshire life, rehoming hundreds of dogs in need. The new Forest Town shop, located at Unit C, Sandlands Court, Fulmar Close, NG19 0GG, will bring Jerry Green’s retail network to six shops across Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, each one helping to raise vital funds to give abandoned and unwanted dogs a second chance at happiness.
The grand opening will be a true community celebration, featuring:
An appearance from Rusty, the charity’s much-loved dog mascot
Puppacinos for your four-legged friends
Free balloons for children and plenty of family-friendly fun, including a tombola
The opportunity to meet the Jerry Green team and hear heartwarming rescue stories first-hand
Visitors can browse a carefully curated selection of quality pre-loved clothing, homeware, and unique finds, knowing that every purchase directly supports Jerry Green Dog Rescue’s life-changing work.
Lynne McMahon, Head of Retail at Jerry Green Dog Rescue, said:
“Forest Town has a fantastic community spirit, and we can’t wait to celebrate with local people on opening day. Since establishing our Blidworth centre in 2015, Nottinghamshire has shown incredible support for our work. This shop is a new way for everyone to get involved, whether by donating, shopping, or volunteering, and every action helps transform the lives of dogs who need us.”
With the countdown on to the big day, Jerry Green Dog Rescue is calling for donations of quality pre-loved goods and applications from volunteers eager to join the friendly shop team. From sorting stock to greeting customers, every helping hand makes a difference.
