It comes after an application supporting the revival of the Rowan Tree Garden World in Dalry was approved by the council.
The bypass premises, which sits adjacent to the A737, was previously operated by David Castelvecchi and Abbie Cox.
The duo took over the iconic roadside location, which was formerly known as the Graze restaurant, in 2013.
It formed part of their wider operations which included the Rowan Tree Restaurant and Garden Centre on the A78 in Ardrossan as well as Haylie Stores in Largs.
However, the Dalry store has been out of action in recent years, closing around the time of the Covid pandemic.
The pair have also moved on from operations in Ardrossan, with that business sold to GRO Coffee boss Gordon Rennie in autumn of 2024.
At that time, David and Abbie teased future plans to expand their Rowan Tree operations – with proposals to re-open their Dalry branch now well underway.
A planning application was lodged last month, seeking permission to make various changes at the site.
These included the creation of a polytunnel, which would be used for plant sales.
It is also proposed that new fencing would be erected around the site and parking arrangements around the centre are reconfigured and formalised.
Application documents also detail that the current service yard to the rear of the business would reduce in size allowing for further outdoor sales space to be created.
Few changes are planned for the building itself – where sales will also be conducted – though the current kitchen within is to be transformed into further storage space.
North Ayrshire Council approved the application, with no attached conditions. It is stated that this will allow the garden centre to re-open next year.
David and Abbie confirmed their intentions to re-open the location in the near future.
A Facebook statement said: “This is a very important first step in our wider plans for the site.”
