Cherry Lane reaches 10 centres as it buys Glebe


Cherry Lane Garden Centres, part of the QD Group, now have 10 garden centres with the acquisition on Glebe Garden Centre in Countesthorpe, Leicestershire.

GTN Xtra understands the centre changed hands at the end of March and that new Cherry Lane branding will be going up next week.

Glebe Garden Centre Leicester was one of the first purpose-built centres to be constructed on a green field site by Roy Carter and was officially opened by the That’s Life TV Celebrity Cyril Fletcher in spring 1975.

The centre was taken over by Bernard Hanraads and Mary Knifton in 1979 before being sold to the QD Group.


Established in 2001, Cherry Lane Garden Centres now has sites at:

  • Beverley, East Yorkshire
  • Bradmore, Nottinghamshire
  • Braintree, Essex
  • Early Dawn, near Lowestoft
  • Glebe, Countesthorpe Leicestershire
  • Long Melford, Suffolk
  • Pulham Market, Norfolk
  • Roman Way, Northants
  • South View, near Great Yarmouth
  • Tickhill, South Yorkshire
