specialist garden building retailer brings widespread interest to Suffolk destination venue as it creates exciting outdoor spaces
Growing specialist garden building retailer Tiger launched its latest branded retail outlet at Stonham Barns Park at Stonham Aspal in 2024 and has transformed the offering at the destination venue and retail location. The newly refurbished display site showcases Tiger’s stylish, high-quality sheds, summerhouses and log cabins and has made the venue a hub for home and garden products.
It operates as a showcase for homeowners looking to enhance their properties by providing garden buildings alongside a garden and home centre, hot tub supplier, antiques outlet and a contemporary interior design and framing business.
Explaining how the businesses work in synergy, Stonham Barns Park Owner Alan Forward says, ‘The flagship businesses at Stonham Barns Park Retail Village include Tiger, The Stonham Garden & Home Centre, The Hot Tub Village, Aspal Antiques and Hemingstone Frames and Interiors.’
‘The businesses have all seen an increase in footfall because Tiger has moved into the venue. The advantage of a brand like Tiger is that it is premium quality and has an increasing national presence backed by TV and press advertising as well as the usual digital channels and word of mouth promotion.’
‘Stonham Barns Park offers shoppers the benefits of a rural destination shopping experience including unlimited and free parking and the mix of business that are attracted to a non-high street location.’
‘These businesses are all professional, creative and attract customers with the desire for luxury items to enhance their home and garden. It all works very well together, and we are delighted with the mix of retail businesses and customers we now have here in Mid-Suffolk.’
‘Tiger is a prestige garden buildings outlet, and it has encouraged more visitors to our destination to enjoy shopping, the eateries and the leisure facilities. We are proud to have the fabulous Tiger display site here at Stonham Barns Park to enrich our Retail Village destination.’
‘A blend of garden buildings, Mediterranean plants, antiques, statues, and contemporary furniture and prints. It’s all here in one place!’
The Stonham Barns Park location is one of the growing Tiger network – now 11 sites nationwide (and set to expand to up to 20 sties this year) and is a strong-performing retail outlet for the brand.
Adds Sam Jenkinson, Head of Marketing at Tiger, ‘The key to a successful showsite is a thriving retail environment. The Stonham Barns Park site is doing so well because it is adding to a very attractive venue with a substantial level of interested visitors and potential customers. It has proved to be a great place to host the brand.’
