The Haskins Garden Centre in Crawley has announced plans for redevelopment. This will see a revamped centre, due to open in spring 2020.
?
Haskins acquired the Snowhill site in 2003 and has worked hard to maintain its position as one of the best garden centres in the area.
?
Due to the ageing buildings on site, pre-dating ownership, it recognised the need to redevelop and modernise the centre.
Haskins new development
?
Julian Winfield, chief executive, commented: ?We have worked with the local authority over years to develop the site.
?
?We’re delighted to be on track with the ?15m redevelopment programme.
?
“Whilst it is a long-term investment, we?re confident that it will secure the garden centre for our customers for many years. It’s a good investment for our business.?
?
Once the redevelopment is complete, customers will enjoy a consolidated garden centre. It will have all goods and services located in one contemporary high quality building.
?
The enhanced customer restaurant will seat 440 and offer an outdoor terrace. The restaurant will be able to provide customers with a better range of meals, snacks and drinks.
?
Improvements include a new large covered outdoor sales area, as well as a revamped car park with 346 parking spaces.
Business as usual for Haskins Snowhill
?
Haskins in Snowhill will continue trading as normal until Thursday February 28 2019. A temporary centre will open on site on Friday March 1 2019. The main centre will re-open for business in spring 2020.
?
The developers are currently in the first phase. They are creating the new car park and entrance and establishing a temporary centre to continue trading.
