Garden centre in Peterborough to open foodhall with Sainsbury’s

Dobbies Garden Centre has created the foodhall at its branch in Cygnet Park, Phorpres Way, Hampton.

It will offer customers more than 3,000 grocery, household and toiletry products.

The new development comes after the national garden centre retailer entered a wholesale partnership with Sainsbury’s to bring in a range of high-quality food and grocery products.

Graeme Jenkins, chief executive of Dobbies, said: “It is fantastic to see our new look foodhall open in Peterborough, with a diverse range of Sainsbury’s products now available for customers.

“This new food and grocery offer complements our garden centre ranges, providing convenience and a wide product selection for our customers.

“A big thank you to everyone who has worked hard to bring this partnership to fruition.

“We hope customers enjoy our new look foodhall at the Peterborough store.”

Dobbies is offering five customers the chance to win their foodhall shopping for free at the Peterborough store.

Five shoppers will be selected at random between today (September 3) and September 9 to receive the contents of their foodhall shopping basket.

Winners will be selected by the team members at the till point throughout the week.

The store is open 9am to 5pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm on Sunday, with social distancing measures in place.
