Dobbie’s staff in Southport have learnt today they will not be one of 17 UK stores closing in a bid to save the business.
The Scotland based retailer said the Bentham’s Way garden centre would remain open as one of 60 stores saved from a closure plan.
More than 400 staff will lose their jobs at 17 garden centres around the UK.
The retailer said they had ceased being profitable.
Work is still going on to make sure Dobbie’s Southport remains making money as the chain look to speak with landlords about rent reductions and other cost savings.
