Tiger marks milestone 20th site with new franchise opening

 

Woodlands Home & Garden Group’s consumer retail brand Tiger has launched its 20th UK show site, located at Dobbies Garden Centre, Andover.

 

The new site builds on Tiger’s successful franchise expansion strategy, which has more than doubled its retail footprint in 2025 alone. Franchisee Andrew Fox, owner of Test Valley Garden Buildings, is leading the operation, offering Tiger’s bestselling range of sheds, summerhouses, workshops and log cabins to customers in Hampshire.

 

Andrew Fox, the owner of Test Valley Garden Buildings, explains further: "It’s a great opportunity to be running Tiger’s 20th UK site here in Andover. The brand has a strong following, and customers recognise the quality and durability of Tiger products. With the increasing strength of the network comes additional advantages such as extensive installation coverage, advertising support and a wonderfully wide range of garden building models - with extensive options to offer bespoke designs tailored specifically to the customer’s needs. We’re excited to serve the local community and confident of building a successful business with the strong backing that the Tiger brand provides.”  

 

 

Sam Jenkinson, Head of Marketing at Tiger comments: “Reaching 20 sites is an important milestone for us, and Andover is the perfect location. The relationship with a number of garden centre chains gives us high-footfall retail environments, and the franchise model continues to deliver strong results, with several partners already taking on additional sites – and also, as in this case, helping to bring other franchisee operators to us.”

 

The new show site is located at Dobbies Garden Centre Andover, Salisbury Rd, Andover SP11 7DN and is open from 9am until 5pm on Monday to Saturday and 10.30am until 4.30pm on Sunday.
