Stephen H Smith have confirmed they are to close their Scunthorpe garden centre on 3 November, in a previously flagged up deal that will see a £30m Marks & Spencers development on the site.
This leaves the company with just two centres, at Harden and Otley in North Yorkshire. They sold their Bolton store to local rivals Summerseat Garden Centre in June.
The disposals were triggered by the retirement of Stephen Smith, whose son Chris and his wife now run the business.
