The Retailer Advantage

The GroSource Program - Gro Group’s Green Goods Buying Group

The GroSource Program is a comprehensive green goods buying program specifically negotiated by Gro Group for their Independent Retailers. It provides the means for multiple retailers to combine purchases to create a significant buying presence.

Our growers offer Gro Group retailers the significant cost savings of purchasing green goods at maximum volume discount levels — discounts that are normally only available to high volume accounts.

Retailers have access to a full-range of Manufacturers in the lawn and garden industry through a single source. Gro Group Distributors offer the Independent Retailer the ease and convenience of one-stop shopping combined with the purchasing might of the world’s largest lawn & garden distributor group.

• Through a single Distributor, the retailer selects from thousands of the most regionally appropriate products from hundreds of brands and Manufacturers, including multiple lines within a category.

• Ordering through a single source is easy, minimums are reasonable, fill rates are high and shipments are timely.

• Distributors salespeople are trusted advisors who maintain close relationships with customer accounts.

• Regional distributors have hundreds of salespeople in the field every day. They get constant feedback and are among the first to spot local and regional trends and are a valuable source of regional marketing intelligence.

• Distributors provide merchandising and advertising programs tailored to regional trends and needs, along with special event planning and support.

• Distributors' trade shows bring retailers and manufacturers together in a focused environment showcasing new products, categories, and programs.

• Distributors' local warehousing improves product placement, pre-season product availability, in-season inventory management and facilitates rapid order turnaround.
