Of coure the whole market for misure products and services,pecially garden-related products, has been expanding over the last few years. Even so, we have been particularly successful. Partly this is because we are conveniently located, but it is also because we have developed a reputation for excellent service. Customers like coming to us for advice. We have also been successful in attracting some of the personality gardeners from television to make special appearances. My main amb tion now is to fully develop all of our twelve hectares to make the centre a place people will want to visit in its own right. Image the centre developing into almost a mini gardening theme park with special garden, beautiful grounds and special events Hogmeadow is a large village situated in the Cotswolds, a popular tourist area of the UK. It has an interesting range of shops and restaurants, mainly catering for the tourist trade. About half a mile outside the village is the Hogsmeadow Garden Centre. The garden centre is served by a good network of main roads but is inacces sible by philic transport Growth over the last five years has been dramatic and the garden centre now sells many other goods as well as gardening requisites. It also has a restaurant. It is open seven days a week, oly closing on Christmas Day. Its opening hours arc Monday- Saturday 9am to 6pm and Sunday 10 am to 5pm. all year round Outside the centre The centre has a large car park which can accommodate about 350 cars. Dutside the entrance a map indicates the various areas in the garden centre. Most customers walk round the grounds before making their purchases. The length of time people spend in the centre varies but, according to a recent study, averages 53 minutes churing the week and 73 minutes at weekends. The same study shows the extent to which the number of customers arriving at the garden centre varles depending on the time of year, day of the week and time of day. There are two peaks in customer numbers, one during the late springcarly Summer period and another in the build up to Christmas, as Hogmeadow puts on jurticularly good Christmas displays 28 Pula

Hogsmeadow quality is high, with plants looking well tended if a little more expensive than other smaller garden centres. Half a dozen bedding plants cost in the region of £2.99 compared to similar plants which could be obtained for end 2 from market stalls or other garden centres. Processionally qualified staff both tend the plants and stall the information centres located around the grounds. In addition to plants, there is also a comprchensive any of outdoo Stone ona ments. There is stock value in excess of C50000 on show price range from 25 to 23700. There are also a large number of water features, compost and peat, garden sheds, conservatories, playhouses, decking, wooden furniture, garden machinery, playground equipment, fencing, slabs, rocks and stones, Inventory control It has always been difficult for the centre to decide how much of each product to order at the beginning of the season. Some non-perishable products, such as barbe cues, sold in quantity at the beginning of the spring season, often have to be discounted very heavily, sometimes at a loss, curing the winter. Other items, such as bedding plants, have a limited sher life as well as being difficult to sell later in the season. The proliferation of lines in accent years has made this problem even more acute.

Bukulturica | Beistell H North ckcrurit Edisidl Origin Epic Games Stars - Case > Pour uuritas We just never get this right. Every year we agonise over how much to buy either we run out or we have stock left over. The weather plays such a huge part in determining demand and is impossible to predict so far in advance. In our worst seasons the money we lose by having to discount stock, or throw away in the case of some plants, can be as high as 20 per cent of our total revenue for the year.' Honeydukes Restaurant Honeycukes were morning coffee, hunches and afternoon tea. It is part self-service and part assisted service. Customers enter, pick up a tray, help themselves to cales and pastries, and order mcals from the counter stall. They then puss down the line and are red crinks, gay, pick up the cutlery and make their way to a table A metal rail sep rates the queue from the seating areas At lunchtimes qucus can reach 10 people during the week and sometimes in excess of 20 people at the weekend. At peak times it can take up to 15 minutes to move from the back of the queue to complete the purchase. Regulars often 'save' tables by putting their coats and bags on them whilst they wait in the queue. On a normal weekday lunchtime there are 12 staff, seven of whom are in the kitchen preparing food, one is responsible for taking money, one serves drinks, one deals with hot food, one deals with cleaning tables and the washing-up. In addition , . there is a manager, Christine Wilson During the week the majority of customers in Honeydukes are mothers with Small children and older people. At the weekend there is more of a read of all pe anges, with the exception of teenage children. Christine Wilson feels that Honeycubes has almost become a victim of its own acces *A lot of the people who visit Honeycukes have toddlers in tw: we've set up a family area with toys for the children to play with. We also recognned that children can be bit fussy so they can ask for a children's lundh box which we make up for them according to their preference. The children's lunch boxes are very popular but they are time consuming for the staff to make up and queues do tend to form. I know that at times people turn way when they see the queue which is very frustrating, particularly as otten we are only halt full one step we have taken to reduce the queues to advse cus tomers that at weekend lunchtimes they cannot just have a drink. But that does tend to ca aggravation, particularly if the customer hasn't seen the signs and has had to queue for some time Once seated, customers and to spend around 20 minutes over morningcoffee or afternoon tea and take around 30 minutes for lunch.

Staffing numbers vary according to the time of the day, the day of the week and the time of the year.

We have some flexibility in staffing through the use of part-time staff and cual workers but we need to be able to repand better than we can at present to the fluctuations that happen in this business. We are an ancious that the rapid growth rules of the centre has meant that many of the staff can only be one job and this restricts puen further The future Although pleased by the growth in customer numbers, Don was troubled that sales Devenue and profitability had not grown as fast. 'We know that the centre is attractive and we believe that the market for these types of products is likely to continue to grow. But we have to continue to develop new prod- ucts and especially service, which will continue to attract customers competition hots up. More specially, we have to keep them in the centre for langer so that they will spend more money while they are here.
