GrowGeneration Makes First Purchase Of The Year

GrowGen Store

GrowGeneration Corp . (NASDAQ: GRWG ) is at it again. The hydroponic chain has acquired Indoor Garden & Lighting, a two-store chain of hydroponic equipment and indoor gardening supply stores serving the Seattle and Tacoma, Washington area. GrowGen said it will be consolidating its current Seattle operation into the acquired stores. This acquisition brings the total number of GrowGen hydroponic garden centers nationwide to 40 stores. The company stock was jumping over 2% in early trading to lately sell at $49.66, closing in on its 52-week high of $53.

“We’re thrilled to kickstart 2021 with our acquisition of Indoor Garden & Lighting, which boasts a strong commercial customer base and a talented team of grow professionals,” said Darren Lampert, GrowGeneration’s CEO. “This deal expands our footprint in the Pacific Northwest and puts us in close proximity to Tacoma’s large commercial operators. With the addition of Indoor Garden & Lighting, we expect Washington’s thriving adult-use market to generate annual revenues of $10 million for GrowGen.”

Founded in 1995, by Mike Long, Indoor Garden & Lighting has operations in Tacoma and Mountlake Terrace.  GrowGeneration also plans to operate out of Indoor Garden & Lighting’s 10,000-square-foot warehouse in Tacoma. As part of the deal, Long and his team of cultivation experts will join GrowGeneration.

The Indoor Garden & Lighting acquisition is the Company’s first acquisition this year and follows yet another quarter of record earnings. Earlier this month, GrowGen pre-announced fourth-quarter revenues of $61.5 million, bringing full-year 2020 revenue to $192 million, up 140% from 2019. Same-store sales increased 63% for full-year 2020, compared to the previous year. The company also raised its 2021 revenue guidance to $335 million – $350 million and raised its 2021 adjusted EBITDA guidance to $38 million – $40 million. GrowGen plans to have 55 garden center locations by the end of 2021.
