A message from Dobbies Garden Centres:
We will be open for business this morning.
We have carefully reviewed the guidance provided by Government, which clearly states that food shops, home and hardware shops, and pet shops should continue to operate to provide essential goods.
In all of these categories Dobbies already provides a comprehensive range, sales in these categories represent 70% of our turnover.
We have therefore taken the decision to continue to operate our stores to serve our local communities.
There will, however, be strict procedures in place to protect our customers and team members:
- Limiting the number of customers that can be in the store
- Social distancing rules will apply requiring that we keep two metres apart at all times
We will be working very hard today to bring these changes into immediate effect.
Thank you for your support in advance.
The Dobbies team
