Homebase launches garden centres in six Next stores
Home and garden retailer Homebase has announced a tie up with Next.
Six of its garden centres will open in Next stores in Shoreham, Ipswich, Warrington, Camberley, Bristol and Sheffield tomorrow, which coincides with non-essential stores reopening.
As well as gardening advice available from Homebase team members in-store, customers can take advantage of personalised hints and tips via the SmartPlant app. With the retailer’s entire range of plants added to the app, extra help is available by scanning the barcode.
Damian McGloughlin, CEO at Homebase, says: "This is part of our wider commitment to make shopping with us easier and provide even more inspiration and expert advice.”
“We're a great nation of gardeners, with more and more people enjoying the benefits of gardening and being outside.”
“The launch of these new garden centres means we're able to offer more gardeners, both experienced and those just starting out, Homebase products in more locations across the country."
Small format stores
Homebase is also set to open more of its small format stores tomorrow.
A dual branded Kitchens by Homebase and Bathstore, DECORATE by Homebase, and its first small format Homebase store, will launch in Walton-on-Thames, Surrey.
This will bring the total number of Homebase's small format stores to six across Guildford, Cheadle and Sutton.
