The purchase of Bridgemere Garden World, a family owned store, gives Wyevale one of the UK's largest garden centres and is located close to the M6 near Stoke-on-Trent.
John Ravenscroft, who has owned Bridegmere for the past 40 years, will become a member of the Wyevale advisory board.
Wyevale was acquired for£323 million earlier this year by private equity company West Coast Capital (WCC).
Under WCC ownership, a new management team led by chairman Jim Hodkinson and chief executive Barry Stevenson, a former director of B&Q and Marks & Spencer, has been leading the revitalisation of Wyevale.
Jim Hodkinson said: 'This demonstrates our determination to build on our strong platform of market leadership within the garden centre industry.
'Bridgemere is already a very successful business and fits perfectly into our existing geographical coverage. It was an opportunity we couldn't miss.'
