Today’s garden centres are about much more than gardening. They have evolved into lifestyle destinations, combining retail, hospitality and leisure to create places where customers can browse, relax and spend more time on site.
Coffee shops play a central role in this evolution, providing welcoming spaces that enhance the visitor experience while increasing dwell time and encouraging repeat visits.
The Jordon Group was appointed to deliver the complete fit out of Brandsby’s Coffee Shop within Easingwold Country Store & Garden Centre in North Yorkshire. Combining shopfitting, commercial refrigeration, HVAC and electrical expertise, our team transformed the space into a contemporary café environment that complements the wider garden centre while delivering the performance required for day-to-day operation.
Creating a Coffee Shop Within a Modern Garden Centre
As customer expectations continue to evolve, cafés have become an essential part of the modern garden centre experience.
Brandsby’s Coffee Shop was designed to provide visitors with a comfortable place to meet, enjoy refreshments and extend their visit. In doing so, it creates a destination that offers far more than traditional retail.
To achieve this, the client required a contractor capable of delivering every aspect of the project through one coordinated team while allowing the garden centre to continue serving customers throughout the programme.
The Jordon Group managed the complete fit out through one coordinated programme. Our team brought together specialist shopfitting, commercial refrigeration, HVAC and electrical expertise within a single programme. This simplified project management, improved communication and reduced coordination between multiple contractors. Careful planning also enabled work to be carried out within a live trading environment, allowing the client to continue operating while investing in its future. As a result, the project was delivered efficiently from start to finish.
Today, the completed coffee shop provides a bright, contemporary environment that enhances the customer experience while adding to the wider appeal of Easingwold Country Store & Garden Centre.

Integrated Shopfitting, HVAC and Refrigeration
One of the advantages of working with The Jordon Group is our ability to deliver multiple specialist services through one experienced team.
Rather than appointing separate contractors for shopfitting, refrigeration, HVAC and electrical works, clients benefit from a fully integrated delivery model that improves communication, reduces programme risk and provides a single point of responsibility throughout the project.
This collaborative approach ensures every element of the completed environment works together seamlessly while maintaining programme certainty from installation through to final handover.
For clients operating customer-facing environments, this coordinated approach also helps minimise disruption, allowing businesses to continue trading while improvements are delivered.
Supporting Modern Garden Centre Developments
Garden centres continue to diversify, with cafés, food halls and hospitality spaces becoming key attractions that encourage customers to spend longer on site and enjoy a broader retail experience.
As operators continue investing in these environments, they increasingly need delivery partners who can complete complex refurbishment and fit out projects without bringing day-to-day operations to a halt.
The Jordon Group supports garden centre developments across the UK by combining expertise in shopfitting, commercial refrigeration, HVAC and electrical services to create modern, customer-focused destinations.
