“Gro Group is delighted that Griffin Greenhouse Supplies has become our latest distributor member to be added to our elite buying group”, says Nancy Taylor, President & CEO of Gro Group.  “With Griffin’s industry expertise and staying power within the industry, we believe Griffin shares a commitment with Gro Group and its membership to offer the best products and services to the market.” 

Griffin is also looking forward to its new opportunities to bring new vendors and products to independent garden centers (IGCs) coming with its membership. 

The big advantage is it’s going to give us an opportunity to add vendors that we really haven’t had before,” says Jim Rottenberg, VP Retail Sales and Marketing for Griffin Greenhouse Supplies, Inc. It really will give our customers a chance to be different than the big box stores.
