Littleton, CO, Sept. 07, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Colorado will be home to the ultimate retail outlet for DIY enthusiasts and landscapers as Pioneer Landscape Centers launches the first of its new homeowner-centric store remodels with the grand re-opening of its Littleton location this weekend.
“Our 6-acre Littleton Landscape Center is the first step in what is an exciting next chapter for one of the nation’s preeminent landscape-supply companies where do-it-yourselfers and professionals will find direct-to-customer savings and the best product selection in the industry,” said CEO Sagi Cohen.
“We will continue to be the first choice for contractors, but we’re really focusing on expanding our offerings for homeowners – we want them to feel comfortable coming in on a weekend with their family, to find inspiration, and to have the time and help to discover exactly what they want,” Cohen said. “This new store concept is dedicated to outdoor living, which includes everything homeowners will need to turn their yard into an outdoor space that can become an extension of their home.”
In addition to a re-imagined retail approach that increases convenience and choice for homeowners and contractors, the transformation includes a name change from Pioneer Sand to Pioneer Landscape Centers, modernized logos and branding featuring bright and vibrant blues and an updated website with increased emphasis on the customer experience.
The grand re-opening of the Littleton Pioneer Landscape Center, 8189 W. Brandon Dr. (south of C-470 off of Santa Fe Dr.), will be Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 9 and 10. Visitors can enter to win a free fire pit, enjoy special discounts , and enter to win concert tickets courtesy of 103.5FM The Fox. The entire family will enjoy a grill out, face-painting, crafts, and many fun-filled activities.
The Littleton Pioneer Landscape Center is the first of 30 Pioneer retail outlets in Colorado and Arizona to undergo a transformation that highlights outdoor-living products and landscaping materials while improving the shopping experience for homeowners and speeding the buying process for contractors.
Product highlights include: decorative rocks, artificial turf, outdoor lighting, paver systems, natural stones, mulch and soil. Homeowners will also discover a nearly 3,000-square foot outdoor Pioneer Marketplace and Inspiration Center featuring the most popular hardscape and landscape products in the area, from decorative rocks and boulders to fire pits and planters, and discounts of up to 50% on some of our most popular products in a Manager’s Special section. And new electric carts allow Pioneer experts to offer their expertise and answer questions while touring homeowners through the distribution center.
Homeowners will also find professional staff whose focus on superior customer service means they are willing to do anything from helping with project ideas to loading customers' vehicles.
Changes at the Littleton Pioneer Landscape Center aren’t just for homeowners. A new contractors “Fast Lane” will cut the time to order, pay for, and load materials down from about 25 minutes to 10 minutes or less.
“Contractors know what they want and need to get in and out and get back to work,” Cohen said. “The 'Fast Lane' allows the contractors to get what they need in a hurry while homeowners can explore as long as they need to and not feel rushed.”
As the owner and operator of two productions facilities, 23 quarries, and a fleet of nearly 200 trucks, Pioneer eliminates the middle man and provides unmatched choices.
“Restaurants would call what we do 'Farm to Table,' and homeowners who visit us are going to discover what the professionals already know: That approach allows us to carry the largest product assortment in the industry — much bigger than any other DIY or big box store,” Cohen said. “Landscape and hardscape is what we do for a living — and we can do it better than anyone else.'"
Pioneer plans to expand the Marketplace and Inspiration Center concept to each of its stores this fall, starting with outlets in Colorado Springs (5000 Northpark Dr.) and Chandler, Arizona (1123 E. Willis Rd.).
