Oh! Green

Private Equity Round in 2015
Oh! Green has everything you need to garden, decorate your home and take care of your pets. In 1997, the HUBERT family moved their garden center from the village center of Saint-Georges-sur-Meuse to the motorway no. 5 of the E42 linking Liège to Namur. The concept of this gardening is unique: large size, very wide assortment, exclusivity of products, staging of products, covered nursery ... A few years later, and after a significant growth of its activity, the Hubert family nourishes the ambition to duplicate this model. It plans to create a chain of integrated garden centers in Belgium. In November 2008, to achieve this ambitious goal, the Hubert family partners with two private equity funds: E-Capital II and PENTAHOLD. With a view to having a national presence, this newly formed group bought different brands throughout the country: - 2009: acquisition of the COIN VERT gardening in Naninne (Province of Namur). - 2010: GOLDIE gardening in Louvain-La-Neuve (Province of Walloon Brabant) joins the group. - 2011: takeover of the gardening SUPERJARDIN of Tournai (orcq) (Province of Hainaut). The historic owner of this company, Mr Desmet, joins the group's shareholders, as well as its management. - 2012: acquisition of the garden center VIVE MON JARDIN of Gouvy Beho (Province of Luxembourg). In March 2011, to optimize communication and benefit from a common image, garden centers came under the name Oh! Green , created by the group's management. With these 5 stores, the group is present in all the Walloon provinces. And this is not over: his desire is to create or acquire other stores in the Walloon region to enjoy a strong presence. The aim is also to open several garden centers in the Flemish region so as to cover the entire Belgian territory.
