BFG Acquires Central Garden & Pet IGC Distribution

Ellen C. Wells

BFG Supply acquired the independent garden center distribution business of Central Garden & Pet. This distribution business serves more than 4,000 customers across the U.S., selling both Central and third-party vendor products. The acquisition strengthens BFG’s position in the independent lawn and garden distribution segment.

Based in Burton, Ohio, BFG distributes a full line of products across complementary green industry segments, including professional horticulture, lawn and garden, and hydroponic and controlled environment agriculture.

The distribution business of Central will be integrated into BFG in the coming months. Prior to the completion of the integration, customers can continue to order product from Central Garden & Pet as usual. GP
