Dobbies has opened its revamped foodhall in Edinburgh after revealing earlier this month that it had struck a deal to sell products from Sainsbury’s in its garden centres.
Shoppers visiting the foodhall will now be able to choose from a range of over 3,000 Sainsbury’s own label products in the ambient, chilled, fresh and frozen categories as well as other grocery, household and toiletry items.
Graeme Jenkins, Chief Executive of Dobbies, said: “Today we celebrate the opening of our new look foodhall at our flagship store in Scotland, with a diverse range of Sainsbury’s products now available for customers. This new comprehensive food and grocery offer complements our garden centre ranges, providing convenience and a wide product selection for our customers.”
