As Pumpkin Patch continues to grow, interest from new markets is also growing. Research undertaken by Pumpkin Patch indicates that opportunities exist for establishing the brand through stand-alone stores located within shopping centres and through wholesale sales to Department stores, particularly with branded in-store concepts.
Our new market development is focused on markets where:
there is a perceived gap in the mid-upper segment of the market;
the market is of a size (or allows entry to neighbouring markets) which justifies the entry and set-up investment costs;

the existing concept can be established without the need for major change to the products or ranges;
the economy is stable and growing; and,
