Tesco said its bid for full control of Dobbies Garden Centres is now unconditional in all respects after 29.2 per cent-shareholder West Coast Capital formally accepted the offer.
Tesco now has acceptances for 85 per cent of the Dobbies shares to which the offer relates, the Cheshunt, England-based company said today in a statement.
It bought 65.5 per cent of the garden-centre company last year.
