B&Q are reopening 155 stores. Garden centres - shurrup and go away. 'The announcement also saw complaints that the retailer would be allowed to sell plants at its sites which have garden centres. The Horticultural Trades Association (HTA) recently told the BBC that millions of plants and shrubs might have to be binned as, unlike hardware firms, garden centres were deemed non-essential.' https://www.bbc.com/news/business-52393074 Two of the nearest garden centres to me are family businesses. 'B&Q Limited is a British multinational DIY and home improvement retailing company, headquartered in Chandler's Ford (Eastleigh), England, and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Kingfisher plc. Founded by Richard Block and David Quayle in 1969 originally as Block & Quayle, the retail chain offers over 40,000 products across three hundred physical shops and online shops.'
