Gates take over Dobbies Stapleton to create Gates Woodlands Hinkley

Gates Garden Centre, a family business with over 75 years of history, is pleased to announce the launch of a second location. 

 

From February the 1st  Dobbies Stapleton, formerly known as Woodlands Garden Centre, near to Hinckley in Leicestershire has officially been known as Gates Woodlands Hinckley.

 

This highly popular destination will continue to serve gardeners and shoppers from across the region, with the existing team remaining in place, bringing their expert knowledge and dedication to exceptional customer service.  Due to the expansion of the site with additional products and services, there will also be a recruitment drive for new keen, talented team members. 

 

Nigel Gates commented 'The Gates team are excited to collaborate with their new colleagues, enhancing and expanding the existing infrastructure to deliver the signature Gates brand experience at this much-loved Garden Centre.'

 

Following a brief refurbishment period, the centre will reopen, retaining all shop-in-shop concessions to ensure a seamless and familiar experience for visitors.

Great news Woodlands was a fantastic garden centre until Wyevale and Dobbies got their hands on it.
Gates is a fantastic business and im sure Woodlands will thrive under its ownership.
