Our Partners for Success

While The Garden Center Group's primary focus is helping garden centers develop better business skills to become more profitable, we also understand the long-term benefit of working closely with a select number of quality-minded product suppliers.

The "Partners for Success" status is offered to a limited number of companies that recognize the unique nature of the independent garden retail operation and are interested in developing methods that can help improve retailer/vendor relationships through open dialog, new product introductions and when possible, special pricing and offers for Group garden center clients. These Partners for Success value the focus and purpose of The Garden Center Group to help independent garden retailers to be more successful.

We wish to express our sincere appreciation to these companies for their support of The Garden Center Group! For more information on our Partners for Success Program, contact Danny Summers (contact information at bottom of this page).
