Third Dobbies acquisition for British Garden Centres
The centre is planned to re-open mid to late February.

British Garden Centres has announced its third acquisition in a week, the former Dobbies Gosforth site at Gosforth Park, Newcastle upon Tyne. The move marks a milestone for the business, further solidifying its position as the UK’s largest family-run garden centre group, taking its portfolio to 68 stores.
The existing team will be retained, while there will also be a recruitment drive, creating new employment opportunities within the local area. The centre is planned to re-open mid to late February.
'A very exciting opportunity'
Charles Stubbs, founder and director of British Garden Centres, said: “We are delighted to welcome the Gosforth Garden Centre into our family, along with the team members and customers. It’s another very exciting opportunity as we have clear ambitions to grow the centre. We look forward to getting ready for the opening.”
