Aveve Deinze expands and offers its customers a festive weekend (22-24/03)

18 March 2024

The Aveve store, located along Gentsesteenweg 126 in Deinze, has been completely refurbished. The garden center is expanding with 900 square meters of sales space and spoiling customers with a host of new products. A festive reopening weekend is planned from Friday 22/03 to Sunday 24/03.

The Aveve store in Deinze has been completely renovated to offer our customers the best service and experience.

"We've extended the store by 900 square metres, half of which is dedicated to retail and half to plants. We've also added 10 parking spaces, giving us a total of 41 spaces. Finally, we've installed a covered bike room for 10 bikes and 7 cargo bikes", explains Emma Thienpont, Aveve store manager in Deinze.

Extended range

The customer is at the heart of our store. They can always turn to our staff for professional advice on our assortment, which has expanded considerably in general, but especially for garden and indoor plants. Thanks to various information buttons in the store, customers can also call on our advisors for further information. By the way, have you already met our new colleague: the store robot? This robot greets customers and guides them to the right department if necessary. What's more, the robot is also used to relieve our customer advisors so that they can serve the customer even better.

Service and experience

Wheelchair-accessible carts, wide aisles and a "low-incentive shopping" test ensure that our store is accessible to all. This means that every Tuesday, between 9 and 10 a.m., the store turns off the music to reduce stimuli in the store. We are looking into the possibility of extending this practice in the future, for example by reducing store lighting or checkout noise.

And the little ones are not forgotten either. With special children's carts and two children's corners, we guarantee a pleasant shopping experience for young and old alike.

"This is where fun grows: customized solutions for our customers and an inspiring shopping experience. That's what we stand for every day!" - Sofie Borgions, Director of Sales and Operations at Aveve Retail.

Last but not least, there will be a tasting corner with seasonal produce, and a feature wall on biodiversity where we'll be giving simple tips and tricks to make gardens more biodiverse.

Customers can visit our online store 24 hours a day, 7 days a week www.aveve.be with the option of home delivery or in-store collection.

Durability

Sustainability is very important to Arvesta and therefore also to its Aveve stores. The renovated Aveve store in Deinze also features some remarkable sustainability initiatives: recharging stations, rainwater recovery, LED lighting, solar panels, separate insect hotel in the parking lot, .... .

Festive reopening

A festive weekend to celebrate the reopening of Aveve Deinze will take place from Friday 22/03 to Sunday 24/03, with numerous tastings, a pastry demonstration and a wildlife photographer.

"There's no shortage of atmosphere and experience in the new Aveve store! Shopping is now done inside, in a very open and spacious store," explains Emma Thienpont. "We'll be showcasing our versatile range by baking the most delicious pastries right in the store. On Saturday 22/03, an animal photographer will be coming to Aveve Deinze to take the best photos of your favorite pet. "
