Barbados’ premier one-stop-shop for building materials, hardware and home improvement, Kooyman, is preparing to host Kooyman Home Fest – the home event of the year, on April 25 and April 26.
The free expo, billed as the home event of the year, will feature exclusive Home Fest deals alongside practical home improvement ideas, live demonstrations, and product innovations, in Kooyman’s first in-store experiential event designed to inspire homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, contractors, and families.
The megastore, located in Kendal Hill, Christ Church will be transformed into an interactive learning environment where everyone can experience hands-on workshops, expert demonstrations, and design inspiration across several categories, including home décor, bathroom, paint, kitchen, tools and outdoor living. The event promises to be the go-to occasion for home improvement expertise, not just products. The event, demonstrations, workshops and in-store treats are all free.
Fun Miles members can shop $100 or more to be entered into the Shop & Win promotion for a chance to win incredible prizes. The grand prize is a four-piece sofa set, with secondary prizes including a $500 Kooyman gift card, 10 000 Fun Miles, Kooyman cooler bags, Kooyman foldable grills, Milwaukee Wireless jobsite radio and vouchers for manicure and pedicure and a 30-minute massage courtesy of The Chakra Spa Barbados. Members can also earn bonus miles and spin for instant prizes at the Spin-to-Win wheel in-store. Not a member yet? Download the app or sign-up in-store and start winning.
Speaking about the importance of the event to Barbadians, Marketing Officer Arlene Floro emphasised the significance of cultural and skills exchange between Barbadian entrepreneurs and large international businesses in order to foster growth: “We have international brands such as Moen, Milwaukee Tools, QM, Rust-Oleum, Bissell, O-Cedar and Umbra sharing the space with the Kooyman team of experts; local influencer, entrepreneur and DIY Queen Christian “ByKrishtun” Gibbs; Egan Layne & his Bajan Blend team; The Chakra Spa Barbados; Anna-Lysa Nicholls of Annalysed Interiors; and Chef Marvin Applewhaite. That is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for both the vendors and our customers who deserve to see iron sharpen iron!”
The event is expected to attract potential and existing homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, contractors, interior designers and creatives with a penchant for home decor to see, do, shop and sip! There are DIY & Installation Workshops about wall panels, wallpaper application, blinds, shelves, kitchen cabinets and tiles, furnishing painting, bathroom plumbing and innovation, bathroom drains, interior design and decor, colour and styling for outdoors, cleaning technology, closet design, cocktail-making, grilling, Milwaukee tools and more.
The weekend of exclusive deals, live music, expert advice and more will be an extra special one for the grand prize winner of a four-piece sofa set; however, as the store is transformed into a sea of expertise, everyone will leave a winner.
