Wyevale Garden Centres unveiled its new-look Cadbury centre in Bristol yesterday (Friday) following a 13 week redevelopment. The changes have led to 41 new jobs being created.
The new-look space, which is the largest garden centre in Bristol, including an extensive outdoor area (91,221sqft) within an attractive landscaped environment, combines shopping, leisure, dining and events making it the ultimate retail destination. It has been designed to spark a love of gardening in all ages and offers a choice of thousands of different plants, shrubs and trees.
As a result of the new concessions and shops opening within the garden centre, the retail space will create 41 new jobs for the local area.
New features at Cadbury, a Wyevale Garden Centre, after its full refurbishment includes:
- New Botanic Kitchen - serving a classic twist on British dishes. Its open-plan design, within a beautiful plant-filled setting, features a new autumn/winter menu that includes delicious breakfasts, afternoon teas and warm hearty mains.
- Kids’ soft play area - tuck in whilst the little ones have a great time.
- New Walter Smith Farm Shop (22nd Oct) - offering locally-sourced produce.
- New concessions: Clarks Outlet, Christy, Mountain Warehouse, Laithwaites Wines, Craft Craft shop and Yankee Candle
Alternatively shoppers can relax and enjoy coffee, pastries and snacks from the nation’s favourite coffee shop – Costa.
Paul Butchers, Cadbury Garden Centre Manager, says: “Our new-look garden centre will not only offer quality, range and value to customers who love their home and garden; but also a unique day-out destination for all the family to enjoy.
"We look forward to welcoming new customers through our doors and are confident they will enjoy the experience.
"With the countdown to Christmas already beginning and our Christmas Preview Night around the corner, we are also looking forward to bringing the joy of Christmas to Bristol.”
