Homebase, a popular home and garden retailer, has recently announced plans to open 16 new garden centres across the country, bringing a range of exciting new products and gardening essentials for customers to enjoy. These garden centres will be located within The Range superstores, offering shoppers access to a variety of items including houseplants, feed, pot hangers, and propagation pots. This announcement comes following Homebase’s acquisition by CDS Superstores, the owner of The Range, after the retailer fell into administration last year.
The new garden centres aim to cater to the needs of gardeners and plant enthusiasts, providing a wide selection of products designed to assist with various gardening projects. Customers can look forward to shopping for unique and practical items that are geared towards helping them grow plants with ease. With a focus on providing quality products, Homebase is set to open 16 garden centres this month, with additional locations scheduled for opening in April.
Some of the locations where Homebase garden centres will be available this month include Edinburgh, Horsham, Ruislip, Maidenhead, and Harrogate. In April, new centres are set to open in Balloo Park (Bangor), Winchester, Godalming, Sittingbourne, and several other locations across the country. The retailer has confirmed that more openings will be announced soon, offering even greater accessibility to gardening enthusiasts in different regions.
Following the acquisition of Homebase, CDS Superstores expressed their commitment to investing in the Homebase brand and introducing new initiatives to enhance the shopping experience for customers. Damian McGloughlin, Homebase’s chief executive, acknowledged the challenges the retailer has faced in the home and garden improvement market amidst the cost-of-living crisis. Despite efforts to improve trading performance, restructuring the business, and seeking investment, the retailer encountered difficulties that led to its administration.
The partnership between Homebase and The Range presents a strategic opportunity for both retailers to expand their offerings and reach a wider customer base. With a focus on providing innovative and high-quality garden products, Homebase aims to revitalise its brand and provide customers with a unique shopping experience. By leveraging the established presence of The Range superstores, Homebase can bring its garden centres to more locations across the country, catering to the growing demand for gardening supplies and accessories.
As Homebase continues to unveil its new garden centres and roll out its product offerings, customers can look forward to exploring a diverse range of gardening essentials and accessories. With a commitment to providing top-notch products and a focus on customer satisfaction, Homebase’s expansion signals a positive step towards reinvigorating the brand and solidifying its position in the home and garden retail market. Garden enthusiasts and shoppers alike can anticipate a fresh and exciting shopping experience at the upcoming Homebase garden centres.
