Whitakers, the historic and popular garden centre, is set to relocate to a new purpose-built site on Manchester Road, Prescot, just over half a mile from its original location on Liverpool Road. Work is already well underway on the new site and the business expects to open the doors to customers in Spring next year.
The landmark garden centre, established nearly 110 years ago, will remain open at its current location until January 2023 and the team will continue to provide customers with all that they need to create their perfect home and garden.
The brand-new modern, premises will offer shoppers around 1500 square metres of retail space which will stock the business’ full range of favourites including outdoor plants, house plants, garden furniture and equipment as well as a wide range of accessories. In addition, there will be a new, larger café for customers, giving them the chance to relax with a broad collection of hot and cold meals as well as refreshments.
The new centre will retain the same friendly and knowledgeable team known and loved by customers, who will be on hand to provide specialist advice relating to gardens, furniture and landscaping.
Ian Lammond, Whitakers garden centre manager, comments: “Work is well underway on our new premises, and we’re excited to welcome customers to our beautiful new store in the Spring. This relocation is just the latest development in the company’s long history and we are excited to be sharing our plans with our loyal customers.”
Whitakers on its current site on Liverpool Road will remain open until January next year as the team gears up for a busy Halloween and Christmas season. The company also offers a comprehensive range of products online where customers can choose to have products delivered directly to their homes or reserved for click & collect.
