GARDEN CENTRE in East Yorkshire.
An opportunity to acquire one of the finest sites in the Yorkshire region, set in approximately 3.75. The business is positioned on a major ‘A’ road with around 19,000 vehicles passing on a daily basis. The centre has been in the same family ownership for the last 140 years – our clients are now due to retire. The business is worked in very easy hours over seven days and is run predominantly by staff – scope here for a new owner to easily double and treble the existing turnover. Our clients are to retire after a lifetime here – younger, enthusiastic new owners could take this to the next level. The business and freehold property has been sensibly priced. The sales showroom and outdoor sales areas occupy 59,226 sq ft of retail space with many different departments from gifts, gardening, plants, trees, pottery, furniture and so much more. There is also a very lucrative coffee shop and cafe which is a great asset to the business. Ladies and gents toilets. Offices and stores. The property also benefits from its own very large car park.

Multi Million pound sale of Tong Garden Centre completed by Ernest Wilsons
Ron Harker appointed Ernest Wilson to review the market and find a purchaser for the 17 acre site following his decision to retire having owned the business since 1984. Following a serious fire in 2000 the garden centre was completely re-built incorporating a range of buildings including retail sales, restaurant, warehousing, glass houses and poly-tunnels extending to over 110,000 sq.ft. with car parking for 700 vehicles.
The Garden Centre has been purchased freehold by two East Yorkshire businessmen Tom Megginson and Mark Farnsworth who have substantial redevelopment plans. Both Tom & Mark own several other businesses, including a very successful farm shop, Williams Farm Kitchen situated in Hornsea and a Biogas plant, GWE Biogas in Driffield. Both are looking forward to injecting all their experience into their new venture which has the potential to become one of the North’s leading Garden Centres creating a significant number of new jobs. Tom stated;
Jonathan Holmes of Ernest Wilson said “As one of the largest independently owned businesses in West Yorkshire it has been a pleasure to act on Mr Harker’s behalf in the sale of Tong Garden Centre and ensuring Ron now enjoys a well-deserved retirement” he added, “The purchasers have some very exciting plans which I believe will really put this business on the map as one of the best Garden Centres in the region”.
