Bargain hunters have shared pictures of the huge discounts on offer including 70% off homeware as well as deals on plants, garden equipment, toys, gifts and Christmas decorations. One posted pictures of shelves of discounted items and said: "Lots of sale items in Dobbies Garden Centre!".
Another added: "50% of almost everything.". Dobbies was given the green light to go ahead with the closure of 12 sites last week, when creditors voted in favour of its plan. In a statement, the firm said the move will enable Dobbies to return to "sustainable profitability and unlock access to "future investment".
