Dobbies Garden Centres has picked London to launch the next two small-format Little Dobbies concept stores.

The stores, which offer carefully curated range of convenience gardening products – ideal for those in urban areas with a compact gardening space – will open at Chiswick High Road and Westbourne Grove this year.

These new Little Dobbies stores will be the first London locations, following on openings in Edinburgh and Bristol, and will join the wider Dobbies portfolio as the retailer’s 72nd and 73rd stores respectively.

“We are very pleased to be announcing our first London-based Little Dobbies stores, reflecting our continuing ambition to develop and grow the business,” Dobbies chief executive Graeme Jenkins said.

“The Little Dobbies format is proving very successful, offering the Dobbies’ experience in towns and cities. It has been created to meet the growing demand to shop local from a growing number of gardening and houseplant enthusiasts.”

The stores will open over the course of June and July this year.
