Looks like the concept Morrisons store from a few years ago near where I used to live. I’m sure all supermarkets have come up with this sort of design over the past ten years.

This isn't being done as a way to allow them to stay open during lockdowns is it? Garden centres are allowed to stay open aren’t they?
