Waitrose to launch in Ayrshire as food giant comes to Dobbies Garden Centre

Waitrose is to launch in Ayrshire for the first time with the upmarket brand announcing a move into the county.

The grocery giant is teaming up with Dobbies Garden Centre in Ayr to take up space in their high-end foodhall.

A range of Waitrose food, drink, grocery products, and everyday essentials will be available.

It marks the first time that Waitrose products will be available to Ayrshire customers in-store rather than online.

Shoppers can choose from an extensive selection of products including the Essential Waitrose range.

On offer will be a large range of chilled, frozen and store cupboard essentials, as well as free-from and vegan ranges and an extensive range of wines and spirits.

Ayr is one of more than 50 Dobbies’ foodhalls across the UK where Waitrose food and drinks are due to be launched and which will bring the supermarket brand to 20 new towns and cities.

Chris Jordan, general manager at Dobbies’ Ayr, said: “The food hall at our store is very popular and the team is really positive about Waitrose being part of the shopping experience for customers.

"Our existing partners will continue to be part of offering, including Hotel Chocolat, Whittards, the Cook range, as well as our fresh bakery to-go. Waitrose products will be an excellent addition.”

Dobbies is offering five lucky customers the chance to win their food hall shopping for free at the Ayr store.

Five shoppers will be selected at random until next Wednesday, October 19 to receive the contents of their food hall shopping basket. Winners will be selected by the team members at the till point.
