‘Garden Centres by Homebase’ opened at The Range

 

The Range has opened three new concept superstores including ‘Garden Centres by Homebase’. The new outlets were at Birmingham Kings Heath, Pollokshaws and Christchurch.

 

‘Garden Centres by Homebase’ is being described as a fresh shopping experience, combining the exceptional product variety we’re known for with the quality plants and garden care of Homebase.

 


A spokesperson for The Range said: “This is part of our recent acquisition of the Homebase IP and our commitment to retail; blending trusted brands, preserving jobs and enhancing local economies.

“At the openings, we welcomed lots of excited customers, with the lucky first 50 in the queue able to take home a goody bag filled to the brim with The Range and Homebase products. All customers were able to meet and try products from select suppliers, including Dew, Delamere, Westland Gardens, Flymo, Sodastream, Burts Chips and Calor Gas - plus VIP (Very Important Pup) the Dulux Dog!

 


“We’re also proud to continue our partnership with the NSPCC, continuing to raise funds instore.

Three more ‘Garden Centres by Homebase’ will open at Newton Abbot, Felixstowe and Blyth next week.
