The Garden and Leisure Group have completed the sale of half of the Percy Throwers Garden Centre site to Waitrose for an undisclosed sum.

The business will trade as usual whilst the new garden centre, incorporating a 5000 sq.m. store, is developed over the next 12 to 18 months. When the new site is open and operational, the old garden centre will be demolished to make way for a new Waitrose store. The project is expected to generate new jobs.
