Dobbies remain open and social media gets heated No 5 Most Read Story 2020 - From GTN Xtra - Issue 12 2020
After last nights statement from the Prime Minister Dobbies garden centres have decided to stay open, citing that 70% of their turnover represents essential goods according to government guidance.
So far GTN Xtra has not found any other garden centres that have opened for business today, apart from those only offering local delivery services from phoned in orders.
Normally we would have popped out to Dobbies Peterborough to take some photos of how the Dobbies team are managing the social distancing etc, but as we are on lockdown too we decided that would count as non essential travel.
We've asked Dobbies for a comment but as we publish this update we've not heard back yet. Watch this space.
