Fellow entrepreneurs are sometimes very creative when it comes to organising extra activities to attract customers. The Thermoflor blog lists three exciting garden centres for you to visit if you happen to be in the neighbourhood:
Christmasworld (NL)
This is something you should really see: the largest show of model Christmas villages in the world at the Duiven branch of the Dutch Intratuin chain of garden centres. You will be enchanted by the snowy fairytale world that passes before you on a conveyor belt. An impression can be found on YouTube.
Sunnyside
Garden centre Sunnyside in Leicestershire (UK) will be presenting the Funnyside Comedy Nights featuring three talented stand-up comedians.
Webbs
The garden centres of Webbs (UK) regularly treat their visitors to circus shows. Tickets for the shows, featuring trapeze artists, jugglers and clowns, are so popular that they tend to sell out very quickly.
