It's time to celebrate as we acquire our 30th Garden Centre!
30th August 2018We are pleased to announce that we have today completed the acquisition of Nailsworth Garden Centre from Wyevale Garden Centres, our 30th Garden Centre.
Formerly known as Waterside garden centre it was designed and built by our Managing Director, Alan Roper, in the 90's before he joined Blue Diamond. It was sold to Kennedys and then to Wyevale when that group was sold in 1998.
Alan says "I am delighted to have bought it back, it has great potential and there is a great AB1 customer demographic in the area. This business was where I honed the AB1 retail proposition with a point of difference which I then bought to Blue Diamond in 1999. The business had a sizeable restaurant serving home cooked food, a Home, Clothing and Children's offer. This was over 20 years ago when this type of broad proposition in garden centres was rare. I remember it being the first garden centre to stock the childrens toy supplier Brio!"
