New look Brighton store is the first in Dobbies’ extensive programme of investment across its store estate.
The plans, developed in collaboration with the store teams, are focused on delivering the best possible customer experience for each store. To deliver this, the plans include improving the fabric of the stores, freeing up space for larger and new ranges and making it easier for customers to shop.
Dobbies has worked closely with new and existing suppliers and partners to increase its offering, with the home, gift and spa ranges increasing by 20%.
General manager of Brighton, Jason Cowell, said: “We’re really proud of the refurbished store. There are lots of great new facilities and we’ve had really positive feedback so far. We have our biggest ever gardening range, which has been hit with our customers and the front of the store has also been transformed to create a warm welcome.”
David Robinson, ceo of Dobbies, said: “We’re really pleased with the changes we have made at our Brighton centre. Early indications from the improvements we’ve made are positive.
“Investing in the fabric of the store, creating a new coffee shop and new outdoor seating area, as well as expanding and developing the ranges, has all been worked through with our local customer front of mind. Thanks to everyone who has supported this project and we look forward to sharing news of our next refurbished store.”
