Lakeland has opened its new store at Endsleigh Garden Centre near Plymouth, marking the kitchenware retailer’s fifth location within the Blue Diamond Garden Centres estate.
Backed by a six-figure investment, the new store will open at 9am on 21 August and create six jobs.
The opening takes Lakeland’s UK store estate to 56 locations and will introduce a new retail concept featuring updated fixtures and fittings designed to showcase the retailer’s range of cookware, bakeware, kitchen electricals and other home products.
The Endsleigh opening is also Lakeland’s first new store of 2026, with the retailer confirming that further openings are planned as it continues to invest in its physical retail presence.
Nick Bell, Head of Retail at Lakeland, said: “The new store introduces a fresh retail concept, including modern fittings and fixtures designed to showcase our extensive range and make it even easier for customers to discover the high-quality and innovative products Lakeland is known for.
“This opening also marks a huge milestone for the brand. It’s our first one this year and we have more planned in the pipeline, reflecting our continued commitment and investment in supporting the high street, and our ambition to bring Lakeland to even more towns and cities across the UK.”
The opening further develops Lakeland’s relationship with Blue Diamond Garden Centres, with Endsleigh becoming the fifth Lakeland store located within the garden centre group’s estate.
Bell added: “We can’t wait to open at Endsleigh Garden Centre. It’s the perfect spot for Lakeland, and the team is working incredibly hard to ensure everything is ready for launch day.”
Customers visiting on opening day will be offered 20 per cent off when spending £50 or more, while the first 500 shoppers will receive a free set of Lakeland pegs. Competitions to win products including pans and mixers will also take place.
The new store will become Lakeland’s latest location in the South West, joining stores in Exeter, Taunton, Bath and Bristol.
