How Dan West grew with Memphis gardeners

From a neighborhood feed and seed store to a two-location garden center, these milestones show how Dan West has expanded while staying rooted in practical local help.

Dan West opened a small Feed & Seed store

Mr. Dan West opened a small Feed & Seed store at 4763 Poplar. His business primarily served the farm community in East Memphis. As the city began to spread eastward, Mr. West started carrying more home garden type equipment.

Dan West Garden Center expanded

When the lease on the service station next door was up, Mr. West bought the property and expanded Dan West Garden Center to its present size.

The Christmas Shoppe opened

The Christmas Shoppe, located in the old Seed and Feed building, held its grand opening. There has always been a Christmas presence at Dan West, and the shop became known for quality artificial trees, ornaments, wreaths, garland, greenery, ribbons, bows, and seasonal decor.

Dan West purchased the Eads property

The property located at 12061 Highway 64 in Eads, Tennessee was purchased to serve the expanding Shelby and Fayette county area.

The Eads facility opened

A brand new facility opened in Eads and began serving as a warehouse to refill the Poplar facility daily with a wide selection of new and tried-and-true plant varieties.

A trusted local gardening team

Ferd and his support staff have combined more than 150 years of gardening experience. Their customer service, product knowledge, problem diagnosis, and quality plants help make Dan West different from others in the industry.
