Fishkeeper Scotland expands presence in Dobbies Garden Centres

Aquatics goods retailer Fishkeeper Scotland is set to invest £250,000 in an expansion that will see the firm establish a presence in Aberdeen and Dundee.

The firm is taking on sites within branches of the Tesco-owned Dobbies Garden Centre chain in the two cities, adding to its existing portfolio of stores in Coatbridge, Inverness and Leith.

The existing aquatics section in Dundee is due to be taken over at the end of May.

In Aberdeen, construction is under way on an extension to double the size of the current department, set to open in June.

Colin Christian, regional dir­ector of Fishkeeper Scotland, said: “We have drawn up really exciting plans to hold more fish and products than ever before, stocking many of our exclusive as well as favourite species and brands, including our AquaOak aquariums.”

He added: “We are really looking forward to offering everything a fishkeeper needs in both cities and we are confident the stores will be as hugely successful as the others in Scotland.”

Christian said the stores will stock more than 200 aquariums and 5,000 exotic invertebrates and tropical freshwater, marine, coldwater and pond fish from around the world.

Fishkeeper Scotland is an independently operated arm of Maidenhead Aquatics, which was set up in 1984 and has 140 stores in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and employs more than 700 people.
