Chance to win hamper during launch weekend
Dobbies has unveiled a vibrant new cottage kitchen garden style foodhall at its Edinburgh store.
Edinburgh is one of Dobbies’ first stores to transform its foodhall with a further 47 stores planned in the coming weeks, offering customers the opportunity to discover and celebrate great food.
The new foodhall reflects Dobbies’ commitment to investing in the Edinburgh store and responding to what local customers want. By listening to feedback from the Edinburgh community, new ways were identified to improve both the food range and the overall shopping experience.
The new foodhall at Edinburgh has opened with a host of introductory offers including 30% off Farmhouse biscuits and Belgid’Or chocolates and 20% off Coolmore cakes, and favourite brands like Fever Tree and Savoursmiths, available to 31 March.
To mark the first weekend of opening from Thursday 19 February, sampling of some of the new products will be available at various times, and one lucky customer through the doors will win a hamper filled with selected products.
Jenna Bavidge, General Manager at Dobbies’ Edinburgh, said: “The foodhall is one of the most popular areas in the store and an important part of our garden centre experience.
“We’ve been working hard on the new format that’s inspired by a cottage kitchen garden and brings together essentials, treats and seasonal variety through a range of both popular and new brands. We’re excited to welcome customers in to see the new ranges and try them for themselves.”
With more than 2,000 products, Edinburgh customers will be spoilt for choice, with Dobbies’ famous scones and tray bakes available, as well as a host of new brands like Botham’s of Whitby and Patteson’s.
Sweet treats will be prominent with well-known brands like Bonbons, Lindt and Tony’s Chocolonely.
The new food hall will have its own greengrocer and deli counter, with everything to make the perfect cheeseboard or party platter, with a new range of chilled products including cheese, deli meats, olives and dips. To accompany this, there will also be a wide selection of biscuits for cheese, sharing bags of crisps and snacks, nuts and dried fruits. The pantry section will also host foods from around the world.
There will also be premium frozen food ranges, with brands including Cook, FieldGoods and award-winning Supper Club, and ice cream from Jude’s.
The ranges of gift foods will increase with a broader selection of alcohol and premium soft drinks. Everything from gin gift packs to all-natural handmade beverages from Hullabaloo.
The new foodhall at Dobbies Edinburgh is open from Thursday 19 February. For more information visit dobbies.com.
